Greetings, Neighbours! Prepare to embark on an extraordinary journey celebrating the best of life at the remarkable Hey Neighbour Festival. We’re thrilled to announce that Heineken® has officially joined hands as the headline partner, adding an exciting new dimension to this highly anticipated event. As Heineken marks its 150th anniversary, the brand has chosen to share this momentous occasion with individuals who share a passion for music, art, and culture. This aligns seamlessly with Hey Neighbour’s mission of transforming strangers into Neighbours, forging connections, and breaking down barriers. The collaboration between Heineken and Hey Neighbour is a harmonious blend of shared ideals.

To elevate the festive spirit, Heineken® is taking Hey Neighbour to the African continent through a continentwide campaign, spreading the festival’s magic to ten key African markets, including Mozambique, Ivory Coast, Ethiopia, and Nigeria, among others. With Heineken as a trusted partner, Hey Neighbour aims to become a festival that Africa can embrace, take ownership of, and be proud to call its own. The goal is to reach the same magnitude as legendary international festivals like Coachella. Warren Le Grange, Hey Neighbour Festival Director, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “We’re absolutely thrilled to have Heineken® on board as our presenting partner. This partnership is all about celebrating good times and unity, which aligns perfectly with the spirit of Hey Neighbour.”
