After Ladies’ Doek & Slay Triumph, Fans Ask: Can a Men-Only Edition Top It?
After the Glamis Arena Shutdown
The massive success of the recent Doek & Slay show at Glamis Arena has sparked a fascinating national conversation. Despite the rain, thousands of women filled the venue for the "Mother Of All Parties," beating previous attendance records by a country mile.
Now, the question on everyone's lips is: Can men replicate this success? Could a "Men's Slay" party draw similar crowds, or is the male social dynamic too different?
The Bar Has Been Set
The ladies have proven that a demographic-specific event works.
THE RECORD
25,000+ Attendees
The previous event at Alex Sports Club hit 25k. The Glamis Arena show surpassed that figure significantly, proving the model works perfectly for women.
"Yes, Men Will Come"
Proponents argue that men already dominate attendance at football matches and bars, proving they are willing to gather in large numbers.
Victor Mugova believes it is all about the mindset: "I am convinced that men will come in their numbers as they also want to be hanging out and drinking. As long as it’s an outing with beers and good music, it will be a success."
Nobert Chitsa adds: "It is a norm that men go out, for example when they go to watch football or enjoy their drinks at a local pub. The only difference is that it will be specifically for men."
"It Won't Work"
THE INCONSISTENCY
Lack of Novelty
One critic told H-Metro: "It is likely that the event will only attract a small percentage compared to Doek & Slay as we already hang out together all the time and nothing will be so special about it."
THE LABELS
No "Costumes"
Unlike women who embraced the "Earthy Brown" theme, men generally resist dress codes. "Some will not buy into the idea since men don’t want to be associated with name tags of some sort," noted Chitsa.
The Consensus
While a men's event is possible, most agree it would lack the community spirit of Doek & Slay, focusing instead on pure entertainment and alcohol rather than themes and fashion.
