Ensuring that viewers at home don’t miss out on our favourite sunsets, the SABC has been announced as the official broadcaster of the Corona Sunsets Festival. Set to deliver Joburg’s ultimate sunset celebration to audiences across the nation, the announcement comes as Corona celebrates ‘100 years under the sun’.
Tune into Corona Sunsets
On Saturday, 13 September 2025, viewers can tune in for a one-hour pre-show special from 7 to 8 pm on SABC 3, followed by a two-hour live broadcast from 8 to 10 pm exclusively on SABC 1, capturing every beat, moment, and golden-hued memory. Both the pre-show and live event will also be available on demand, on SABC Plus, for those who miss it.
“Our live broadcast of the Corona Sunsets Festival marks an exciting moment for South African entertainment. Bringing the Festival to our platforms for the first time reflects our commitment to celebrating local artistry, culture, and the power of shared experiences,” – Dichaba Phalatse, Marketing Manager Video Entertainment.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Casalinga, Muldersdrift, this year’s Corona Sunsets Festival will feature world-class performances from artists including Jeremy Loops, Ndlovu Youth Choir, Oscar Mbo, Major League DJz, 340ml, and more.
Beyond the music, through the first time ever broadcast, SABC viewers will also witness the festival’s signature “Sunset Moment,” Daniel Popper’s breathtaking art installation, trapeze acts, and the “More Than Music” experiences – immersive workshops exploring mindfulness, creativity, and sustainability.
From artist profiles and behind-the-scenes rehearsal moments to the Sustainability Spotlight highlighting the festival’s “Protect Our Sunset” initiative, the broadcast promises a cinematic festival experience unlike any other. Audiences can expect time-lapse footage of the festival build, aerial shots of the vibrant crowds, and powerful performances on the Corona Sunset Festival stage, set against Joburg’s golden skies.
