Several attendees are foaming at the mouth and have taken to Twitter to express their disappointment in the way the festival events unfolded on day one.
The festival attracted thousands of festival-goers who packed the Kyalami Grand Prix on Saturday 24 September, for the two days event. A number of renowned artists including Burna Boy, Thebe, Kabel,o and Niss performed and kept revelers on their feet throughout the day and night.
The festival was rocked by fake tickets drama before it even took place. Several Twitter users have complained about the long queues, and massive traffic jams, and patrons in the VIP section said they couldn't hear the sound properly.
There were revelers who said they had spent hours ordering food, parking, drinking, and making their entrances. @BassieLastrassi tweeted "The name of the game is queueing. To pee, to eat, to park, to drink, to enter. You will spend at least 3 hours queuing. #DStvDelicious."
It used to be good, before moving to the racetrack…but I’m not surprised today was a shitshow…could see that coming from a mile away…Burna is too big for that event…that was their first mistake…

People are talking about fainting cause they can’t access water. And it’s too hot for water to not be readily available.

DSTV Delicious Fest was a logistical and practical nightmare🥲 they get a 1/10 and the one is only cause Burna Boy was absolutely mind blowing, he gets a 100/10👏🏾🙌🏽

"We are aware that the entry to VIP is taking longer than expected. Additional security processes are being implemented due to fake tickets and unauthorised tickets," tweeted the festival earlier on Saturday.

Burna Boy headlined a show with over 100k people in attendance, in South Africa. This man is one of the biggest artistes in the world right now!

If we being honest Burna Boy is too big for DSTV Delicious, he is supposed to perform at a stadium.

In all of this, Stefflon Don deserves a special thank you, because without her we wouldn’t have gotten the greatness that is Burna Boy’s Last Last

He Came, He Saw, He Conquered. DSTV Delicious was too small for Burna Boy. Burna Boy is easily the biggest artist in the whole world. Burna Boy is whoever he thinks he is. pic.twitter.com/XfcLAITucY
