Elevating The Experience
The Denim Code & Tents Banned
In a heartfelt letter to the "Doek & Slay Family", organizers introduced crucial updates based on direct feedback to make the event safer and more inclusive.
Official August Slay Code
The highly anticipated dress code is Denim on Denim, paired with your favorite shades and a signature doek.
(Bulawayo exclusive: Pistachio/Olive Green with a touch of Ivory).
Fairness & Visibility (No Front-Row Tents)
To ensure every sister has an unobstructed view of the stage, front-row tents are officially banned. Tents will now be conveniently relocated to the back of the venues so they do not block attendees sitting in the middle.
Photobooths & Future International Acts
Interactive photobooths are making a grand comeback! Additionally, while the August tour champions regional acts due to tight timelines, organizers have officially promised a legendary African music icon for the upcoming "Mega Doek & Slay".
