The Corona Sunsets Festival returns to national television this March as SABC 1 once again partners with the iconic music and lifestyle event, bringing one of South Africa’s most distinctive open-air experiences to screens across the country.
The renewed collaboration follows the successful broadcast of the Johannesburg edition, which saw SABC deliver the golden-hour experience into homes nationwide for the first time. At the centre of this year’s broadcast are Metro FM breakfast host Sabelo “DJ Sabby” Mtshali and acclaimed actress and media broadcaster Hope Mbhele. Together, they will guide viewers through the 2026 Corona Sunsets Festival from The Glen Country Club in Clifton, Cape Town, on Saturday, 21 March 2026 – airing on SABC 1 and available for streaming on SABC Plus.
The Corona Sunsets Festival will see headline performances from Grammy Award-winners Purple Disco Machine and Zakes Bantwini, alongside Sun-El Musician, Msaki, DJ Kent, Liquideep, Mila-Rose, Blakongo, Roz b2b Housewife, Meek, and a once-off sunset performance by the Ndlovu Youth Choir.
More than a music showcase, the SABC 1 special will immerse viewers in the festival’s defining Sunset Moment, aerial performances, immersive art installations, and its signature More Than Music offering – including curated experiences that extend beyond the stage. For Corona, the continued partnership with SABC reflects a shared commitment to celebrating culture at scale. The collaboration also reinforces SABC 1’s role in shaping live entertainment experiences for national audiences.
