ONE of Mzansi's favourite food and music festivals, DStv Delicious, is back.
This year's artist line-up promises to be bigger and better than ever.
In an official statement, organisers revealed that the nostalgic hip-hop/soul legend Lauryn Hill will headline the festival with an incomparable performance, joined by her longtime collaborator Wyclef Jean.
The eight-time Grammy Award-winning singer will arrive on Mzansi shores alongside Zion Marley and YG Marley, who will make special appearances in celebration of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill 25th Anniversary Tour.
The much-anticipated event will take place on 20 and 21 September at the iconic Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit in Midrand, Gauteng.
Adding to the soul-stirring line-up is South Africa's gospel powerhouse Joyous Celebration Rewind, who will bring uplifting performances featuring selected alumni, including Idols SA and SABC Crown Gospel Award winner Khaya Mthethwa.

The musical magic continues with the 11-time Sama award-winning queen of Afro-soul, Lira, who is set to continue her triumphant return to the stage.
