Okayafrica teamed up with STR.CRD, South Africa's leading urban culture festival to host live performances from South Africa's best new bands, and feature some Okayafrica x Unknown Uniont-shirts in our very own pop-up shop! STR.CRD kicked off Friday evening with Christian Tiger School playing the Okayafrica curated stage for an intimate crowd of friends and brand ambassadors. The pop-up shops, skate ramps, graffiti demos, dance competitions, and the main stage opened up to the public on Saturday afternoon. The large outdoor stage kept downtown Johannesburg LIVE until 2Am with an incredible line-up including OKA faves Zaki Ibrahim, Just A Band, Jesse Boykins III and Melo X, and OKA fav JakobSnake.
