Twenty One Children are the riotous punk pulse of Johannesburg — a fearless trio tearing up the rulebook and rewriting South Africa’s alt-music playbook. Born from the bond between friends Thula and Abdula completed by drummer Biko, their sound fuses the grit of U.S. skate punk with the heartbeat of Soweto, erupting in a whirlwind of noise, soul, and subversion.


With sharp wit and an unshakable DIY ethos, they’re not just a band — they’re a movement. From building the local skate park to throwing benefit shows for schoolbooks, Twenty One Children bleed community. Their music crackles with the defiance of Dead Kennedys, yet pulses with a distinctly homegrown fire. Spending 2025 turning heads in the UK at The Great Escape and Dot To Dot & onto a tour of Africa with punk legends DEATH, they're only just getting started. 2026 isn’t just another year — it’s the Year of Twenty One.
