Award-winning group Bongo Maffin has been teasing fans with announcements that they're getting back together.
Now for the first time in eight years, they will be on the Jozi stage to show us what we have been missing.
They will be headlining the Castle Milk Stout Night Picnic on Saturday at Pioneer Park, Wemmer Pan in Rosettenville, Joburg.
The legendary group, which consists of Stoan Seate, Thandiswa Mazwai, Jah Seed and Speedy, is ready to rumble again.
Speaking to Daily Sun, Speedy said: "We have been rehearsing every day for the event and we are excited about getting back on stage. We have also been recording new songs for our upcoming release."
All four of them have also released songs as solo artists, and Speedy had gone on to collaborate on hit songs with artists like Professor and American R&B singer, Raheem Devaughn.
Asked how it feels to be on stage after such a long time, Speedy said: "For me it's been 14 years as I had left the group anyway. For them to take me back was amazing.
"I went through my struggles but I appreciate the second chance I have been given.
"A lot of artists don't get a second chance, so I am grateful."
They will be joined on stage by DJs Sphectacula, Kenzhero, Vigilante, Amunishin and Ndubble. Doors open at 2.30pm.
