Corona SunSets Durban 2018 - Win Tickets!

With tickets for the Corona SunSets Festival in Durban at the end of September selling fast, we thought we'd give a few lucky people a chance to win tickets to probably the biggest event to the kick off the Durban party season. With a lineup that includes the likes of international DJ and producer Robin Schulz and a host of South Africa's hottest artists, like DJ Fresh, Timo ODV, Lady Zamar, Goodluck to just name a few, you know this party is not to be missed. 

But what makes the Corona SunSets Festival unique, is the whole setup, having attended events in Cape Town and Johannesburg, I can honestly say Durban is in for something special. It's unlike any other festival that's been held before in the Province. It's a very laid back setup with lots areas for chilling, a beach sand dance floor area with the Mandala stage prominent from all views. It's a festival dedicated to the sun and at SunSet the Mandala lights up with the performances. The music will be different to what you're used to hearing most dance festivals with a more deep house vibe as well as their hits.

Corona SunSets Festival - Durban Support Acts

As most of you already know, Corona SunSets Festival is hitting the East Coast of South Africa for the first time at the end of September this year, with international head line act Robin Schulz being at the helm, he is to be joined by some phenomenal local support acts who will set the SunSet scene and get the hype going until Robin hits the stage. Today we're going to bring you some background on some of the artist that will be performing at the Shongweni Polo Club on the 29th of September. 

First up on that lineup is Lady Zamar, bringing some femininity to the stage and representing SA house music with her high-energy stage performance, no doubt including her current number 1 'Collide'.  Next up we have everyone's favourite, the Big Dawg of house music in SA, DJ Fresh! His rhythmic beats is loved world over and he definitely needs no introduction. Another local act that needs no introduction locally is Good Luck, Jules and the boys have been making some fresh new music and cannot wait to share it with the crowds in KZN. 

Probably one of the hottest names in the SA circuit at the moment, Timo ODV, he is a multi-talented superstar, and his music if proof of it. Local crooner Matthew Mole will join him and the rest of the lineup with his very SunSet mix of sexy and chill, bringing the crowd closer to the magical SunSet mandala moment. 

Black Motion may have made it big internationally but are proudly homegrown and their African-inspired house music will stand out amongst even the talented cast and their set is surely one not to be missed. Then we have SAMA-Award winning DJ Kent who will be bringing his blend of vocal-infused house music to the stage. Joining him is Congalese superstar, Tresor who brings the cool to the stage with his tropical sounding set, perfect for any SunSet Moment.

Corona SunSets Festival 2018 - Durban

Cape Town had their turn, so did Johannesburg and now it's time for Durban to get their time to bask in the beauty that is the Corona SunSets Festival! Yes, you read right, Corona SunSets is coming to KZN and tickets are already selling fast! Having been to the first event at Cape Town, I can honestly vouch for this one, being one of the best parties I've been to in a long time. It's all about the chilled relaxed vibe as the party starts off in the afternoon and mellows into the evening with the sounds of Deep House music leading the way with an ice cold Corona readily available for you at every turn. 

The Corona Sunsets Festival has lit up sandy dance floors and sunset-loving dancers around the world with its groovy magic and sexy sounds. Durban is next up on the South African circuit with a lineup and production designed to Salute the Sunset like never before. 

Headlining the Durban event will be international artist Robin Schulz,  he is no stranger to the Corona SunSets stage and he brings with it just the right blend of melody and magic to set the scene. For those who have never been to a Corona SunSets festival before, the stage is a giant mandala which illuminates in various colours and lights as the sun goes down, a sight to be hold as you revel in the music. Robin will be joined by a host of local artists who each bring their own flavour and style, which is sure to keep the crowd jamming. 

The venue for this first event in Durban, the Shongweni Polo Club in Hillcrest, a prestine equestrian club with rolling green hills that will be transformed for one day and night only into Durban's SunSet home. It will have a spacious dance floor, the requisite Mandala to salute the sunset, spiritual areas to absorb the collective joy and energy created by this event, vendors, amazing food to keep the energy up and much more.
