South African DJ and producer Uncle Waffles is set to take Amapiano to one of the year’s most talked-about Halloween parties, joining Megan Thee Stallion for her annual Hottieween celebration in Las Vegas on 30 October 2026.
The international booking will see Uncle Waffles appear as the special guest at Thee Circus, Megan’s circus-themed event at Zouk Nightclub inside Resorts World Las Vegas. Megan has positioned herself as the evening’s ringleader, with the party promising a high-production blend of hip-hop, dance music, costumes and theatrical spectacle.
A South African sound on a US party stage
The collaboration places Uncle Waffles’s signature Amapiano sets alongside Megan’s high-energy hip-hop party brand. It is a notable meeting of two distinct music cultures, with the South African performer bringing the rhythm, dance moves and crowd-focused stage presence that have helped build her international profile.
Megan announced the booking on Instagram while encouraging her followers, known as the Hotties, to secure the remaining tickets and attend what she described as a genuine party experience.
“Experience a real hottie party.”
For Uncle Waffles, the appearance represents another step in a global rise that has seen Amapiano continue to travel beyond South Africa’s borders. The booking also gives the genre a prominent place within an American entertainment setting built around celebrity, nightlife and live performance.
What guests can expect
The event is expected to feature two dancefloors, exclusive Cirque du Soleil elements and performances built around the circus concept. Guests have been instructed to arrive in costume, with the party’s dress guidance calling for people to be ready to celebrate in full character.
- Event: Thee Circus Hottieween party
- Date: 30 October 2026
- Venue: Zouk Nightclub, Resorts World Las Vegas
- Special guest: Uncle Waffles
- Host: Megan Thee Stallion
Hottieween was launched by Megan around 2019, and previous editions have moved between locations, including Houston in 2025. The parties have become associated with elaborate costumes, celebrity guests and large-scale production, making the Las Vegas edition a fitting platform for Uncle Waffles’s energetic performance style.
Uncle Waffles brings her own Halloween flair
The DJ has also developed a strong personal tradition around Halloween. Previous costumes have included Beyoncé in the Check On It music video, Nicki Minaj and Jim Carrey’s character from The Mask.
For 2026, she turned to a viral South African pop-culture reference, dressing as Constavacious Glamazzonnne — spelled with two z’s and three n’s — from Nomuzi “Moolzlie” Mabena’s memorable MTV interview. The choice underlined her playful approach to the holiday while connecting her global visibility to a distinctly local piece of internet culture.
Ticket prices and fundraising
General admission has been listed at approximately $125 to $175, or about R2 000 to R2 900. Prices may change as the event approaches, and availability could be limited. Table packages and bottle-service options are also available, with some packages starting in the thousands.

A portion of the proceeds will be directed to Megan’s Pete & Thomas Foundation, which was named in honour of her late parents. The arrangement adds a fundraising element to an event otherwise centred on music, nightlife and visual spectacle.
With Uncle Waffles on the bill, the Las Vegas party will also serve as a high-profile showcase for Amapiano and for the South African artist’s expanding international footprint. The result is a distinctly global entertainment moment: a US hip-hop star’s Halloween production, a Las Vegas dance floor and a South African sound meeting under one circus tent.
