Get ready to dust off your fascinators, polish those brogues, and stretch your dancing calves, because #DurbanJuly2025 is galloping into town with a line-up so good, even the horses might stop to dance!
Scheduled for Saturday, 5 July 2025, at the glitzy Hollywoodbets Greyville Racecourse, the Hollywoodbets Durban July 2025 is more than just a race, it’s a national-style summit, music festival, and gourmet affair, all rolled into one. This year, the event is raising the stakes (and the volume) with a blockbuster music line-up that screams South African excellence.
🎶 Music Royalty Meets Race Day Glam
The entertainment stage will feature a mix of legends, soul-soothers, beat droppers, and good-vibe merchants who’ll make sure no one leaves without doing a little two-step in their Sunday best:
Zolani Mahola, aka The One Who Gives Goosebumps, will open with the national anthem, setting the tone for a day of pride, elegance, and possibly some patriotic tears.
Mafikizolo, the Afro-pop power duo behind timeless bangers like Khona, will prove once again that aging like fine wine applies to music too.
Lira, our soul diva with a voice smoother than Amarula, will bless the crowd with a set so uplifting, you might forgive your ex mid-chorus.
Hot Water will throw tradition, rock, and folk into a musical blender, hit “dance mode,” and serve up nothing but rhythm and joy.
GoodLuck will get your body moving with electro beats so catchy, you might end up losing your hat and your home training.
DJ Dalootz promises a Rocking Time™, spinning tracks with enough heat to melt even the iciest poker face in the VIP lounge.
Lee Cole, the prince of heartfelt pop, will serve emotion with a side of smooth vocals – perfect for those romantic raceside moments.
Sunset Sweatshop, your feel-good rock crew with reggae vibes, is the musical equivalent of that one friend who always brings the party (and probably the cooler box too).
🎟️ Tickets: R230 For All This Magic?
Yup. For the modest price of R230, fans get full access to see this sensational line-up perform live — right next to thundering hooves, high fashion, and that one auntie who always overdresses (and somehow wins Best Dressed anyway).
📣 From the Horse’s Mouth
“This year’s Hollywoodbets Durban July is more than just a race, it’s a full cultural experience,” said Zandile Dlamini, Hollywoodbets Spokesperson. “We’re thrilled to present an entertainment line-up that celebrates the best of South African music and adds another layer of magic to an already iconic event. At Hollywoodbets, we’re passionate about creating unforgettable experiences.”
And unforgettable it will be. Expect show-stopping fashion, Instagram-worthy food, champagne flows, and a day where your only real worry is stepping on someone’s train while dancing to Mafikizolo.
