Johannesburg’s early spring skies will be turning gold for more than one reason this September. The Corona Sunsets Festival is set to bring its signature blend of music, sunshine, and laid-back coastal energy to the City of Gold on Saturday, 13 September 2025.

Hosted at Casalinga in Mogale City, the festival promises an all-day celebration from midday until late into the evening. Picture this: a warm Gauteng afternoon melting into a glowing sunset, the air filled with live beats, the scent of food trucks, and the unmistakable sound of thousands of people living in the moment.

A festival made for golden hours

The Corona Sunsets Festival has earned its reputation as a global music-meets-lifestyle event. While it has roots in beach culture, it has found a natural home in Joburg’s lush open-air venues, drawing crowds who come as much for the atmosphere as for the lineup.

The Casalinga grounds offer a unique festival setting, open fields bordered by trees, with enough space to dance, lounge, or simply sip a cold drink while the sun dips behind the horizon.

The vibe and the crowd

More than 110 people have already marked themselves as “interested” online, and that number is climbing fast. If the past editions are anything to go by, expect a mix of Joburg locals, out-of-town music lovers, and festival regulars who know the magic of a September sunset in Gauteng.

Social media is already alive with excitement. The hashtag #ThisIsLiving is filling up with beachy shots, throwbacks to previous Corona Sunsets events, and outfit inspiration for this year’s crowd.

How to join the party

Tickets and table packages are now live at corona.howler.co.za, with options to suit different budgets and group sizes. Gates open at 12:00 pm, and the music will carry on until 11:00 pm, giving you a full day to soak up the rhythm, the people, and the sunset.

Whether you are there for the DJs, the sunset moment, or simply to escape the city’s fast pace for a few golden hours, this is the kind of event that stays with you long after the last beat drops.
