Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden in Cape Town will kick off its 2023/2024 series of Summer Sunset Concerts on Sunday, 3 December with a star-studded line-up of South Africa’s best loved, grooved-to acts.
The Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concerts have become a deeply embedded, much-loved, and eagerly anticipated part of the Cape Town summer social scene.
This season’s line-up lives up to all expectations, bringing the biggest names in South African music to the city.
The line-up will kick off with Mi Casa and wraps up 17 weeks later (on March 31) as autumn starts settling in. Music lovers can groove along all summer to acts like Lloyiso, Mango Groove, the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra, Amanda Black and the Soil, Emo and Loukmaan Adams and many more.
The traditional (and hugely popular) Cape Town Carols at Kirstenbosch proudly hosted by the Rotary Club of Kirstenbosch are scheduled for 14 – 17 December. Swing City will include carol tasters in their performance to warm you up for the Christmas celebrations on 23 December.
The New Year’s Eve Concert will see Jeremy Loops and the Congo Cowboys take to the stage; and a show by Goldfish will ring in the new year on 1 January 2024.
The season wraps up at the end of March with Neon Dreams and Ard Matthews.
Sarah Struys, Events and Tourism Manager at Kirstenbosch, says the whole team looks forward to concert season. “It’s wonderful to welcome so many people to the garden, and to be such an ingrained and beloved part of Cape Town’s festive season and summer happenings.”
“This is a city that has few (if any) rivals for fun, outdoor summer lifestyle living. The summer sunset concerts make the most of this, and of Cape Town’s fantastic weather; long, lingering evenings; breathtakingly beautiful surroundings and fun-loving people.”
Food trucks will be in full attendance at every show, offering a variety of delicious eats. Concertgoers are also welcome to pack a picnic, or to pre-order five days ahead from the Kirstenbosch Tea Room or Moyo Restaurant.
