Cassper Nyovest has announced he'll be taking his Fill Up concert to the Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein on December 6.

Taking to social media on Tuesday, the rapper reflected on his previous concerts when sharing the news.

“Bloemfontein. Home of Masele (yah le nou). Home of the Free State Cheetahs. Home of the second highest court in South Africa. Hosh Karamaima capital (mare nna I’m married bathong), Centre of the Free State. Bana ba ga Oumama. We heard you, kele utlwile December 6 Free State Stadium. Re on on on. It’s official, Bloem the next host for Fill Up.”

The Free State Stadium has a capacity for 46,000, and many on social media asked if the rapper will be able to fill the venue.

The Fill Up concerts have been a massive success for Cassper, with previous shows selling out, including:

  • Fill Up The Dome in Johannesburg in 2015;
  • Fill Up at Orlando Stadium in 2016;
  • a concert at the FNB Stadium in 2017;
  • another at Moses Mabhida Stadium in 2018; and
  • Fill Up Mmabatho in Mahikeng in December 2022.

In posts on X shared in March, Cassper assured his fans he's going all out this year.

“You know what? Let me book a stadium and do Fill Up one more time so we can restore order. Nkare bafana ba ba Tla ntlwaela cause ke itidimaletse [Looks like these boys are being disrespectful because I'm quiet]. Which stadium y’all want? Let’s rock,” he said.

“I’m doing it. I’m not bigger or better than anyone in the game. I'm not bigger than the game itself. I trust God. Anything is possible if you pray. There is power in the name of Jesus. Even if the world was against you, you will come out unscathed. Watch.

“Just called my manager T-Lee, and asked him to call stadium management because I’m doing Fill Up this year. Never heard that n*gga get so excited. He has been asking me and I’m finally ready. Team Nyovest. Get ready. We are going back to the stadium. It’s time. We move by faith.”
