As the sun dipped below Cape Town’s iconic Clifton coastline, a sold-out crowd of 6,000 local and visiting festivalgoers gathered to witness a spectacular “Sunset Sync” show that cast a golden glow over the Corona Sunset Festival World Tour. Returning to South Africa for the weekend, the festival offered two days of music, relaxation, and a celebration of nature.
Against the stunning coastal backdrop, attendees were treated to standout performances from top artists, including international DJs Nightmares on Wax (UK), Tsha (UK), and MoBlack (Italy), along with local stars Sun-El Musician and Bantwanas. The event concluded with a breathtaking fireworks display from the iconic main stage, recognizable by its massive Mandala symbol.
"Performing in South Africa, with its profound house music legacy, energized crowd, and beautiful setting, was an incredible experience here in Cape Town,"; said MoBlack.
A global music and lifestyle touring festival blending music, mindfulness, and environmental awareness, the Corona Sunsets Festival World Tour follows the sunset worldwide and features festivals with international musicians and DJs performing as the sunset takes centre stage at iconic beach destinations across the globe. The tour launched globally in Cape Town in 2023, transforming Clifton into a stage for both local and international talent to connect with nature and an energized crowd.
A one-of-a-kind experience, the festival not only gave festival goers a front-row seat to one of the world’s most breathtaking sunsets but, under the “More Than Music” banner, connected outdoor celebration with mindful living and environmental awareness. From the moment festival-goers stepped onto the grounds, they were greeted by acclaimed South African artist Daniel Popper’s monumental sculpture, “Nature’s Goddess,” a compelling symbol of humanity’s connection to nature.
A powerful opening ceremony, meanwhile, was led by poet Siphokazi Jonas along with a symbolic stone-casting ritual with spiritual healer Nkosenathi Koela. In addition to music performances, the event immersed festivalgoers in a range of immersive experiences including organic cuisine using locally sourced ingredients, yoga and meditation sessions
as well as ocean conservation art installations, encouraging festivalgoers to unwind and enjoy nature.
On day two of the festival, attendees gathered for Corona Sunsets Unwind at The Lawns in Camps Bay, for a wellness experience promoting relaxation and reconnection with nature, including guided walks, yoga, ice baths and meditation. A downtempo silent disco headlined by Ibiza resident DJ, Nightmares on Wax, provided a mellow yet vibrant sunset experience to end the festival weekend.
“The Corona Sunsets Festival celebrates life’s simple, powerful moments – reconnecting with nature and mindfulness. Cape Town’s coastline perfectly showcased our commitment to sustainability, offering an escape from daily life,” said Melanie Nicholson, Head of Brand for Corona South Africa.
The Corona Sunsets Festival World Tour continues its journey, promoting environmental awareness, wellness and relaxation around the world. Join the movement with #ThisIsLiving and #CoronaSunsets.
