Global Gqom pioneer DJ Lag is entering the final chapter of his groundbreaking worldwide tour, which has taken him across Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe, and the UK. This tour has been closely tied to the release of his acclaimed sophomore album, The Rebellion. The album marks a sonic evolution for DJ Lag, blending his signature Gqom sound with Afro Tech, Amapiano, Drill, and Hip Hop to capture the dynamic growth of his music and its global influence.
Reflecting on The Rebellion, critics have praised its fusion of traditional and emerging sounds, with DJ Lag himself calling it “a celebration of where Gqom has come from and where it’s going.” The tour has been a fitting showcase of this evolution, highlighting Lag’s mastery as both a producer and performer, while engaging fans with vibrant live experiences.
The tour concludes with a grand New Year’s Eve performance at Bundu Splash in Durban, a hometown finale for the “Gqom King” that reflects his ongoing dedication to the genre and its roots.
