From Cape Town’s shores to Joburg’s skyline, leading entertainment agency Anything Goes curates over 30 summer events featuring Piano People, Keinemusik, Four Tet and more — delivering a season of sound, culture and connection.
Cape Town, 30 October 2025 — With more than 30 events scheduled across South Africa and over 100,000 festivalgoers expected, Anything Goes is setting the stage for a summer that celebrates the rhythm, creativity and energy of Mzansi — while capturing the attention of the global music world.
Fresh off major successes including Paradisco: Lady Marmalade in Cape Town and Corona Sunsets Festival in Johannesburg, the culture and entertainment curator now gears up for Halloween featuring Major League DJz (31 October) at Cabo Beach Club, Cape Town. The season builds toward an electric close at Ultra South Africa in April 2026, hosted in both Johannesburg and Cape Town.
For over two decades, Anything Goes has built a reputation as Africa’s leading branded entertainment agency, curating experiences that merge global music culture with local creative energy.
This summer’s lineup reads like a cross-continental tour of sound. From Berlin’s renowned collective Keinemusik and British electronic visionary Four Tet, to Australian singer-songwriter Ry X and Canadian producer BLOND:ISH, Anything Goes further cements South Africa’s status as a must-play destination for the world’s top live performers.
“It’s extraordinary to see how international artists view South Africa as an essential stop on the global circuit,” says Shaun Duwe, Founder and CEO of Anything Goes. “This summer reflects that — a fusion of global and local talent performing against some of the world’s most breathtaking backdrops.”
These performances not only elevate South Africa’s cultural footprint but also attract thousands of international travellers, reinforcing the country’s growing role in the global festival economy.
Still, the soul of the season remains unmistakably South African. With homegrown icons including Shimza, Scorpion Kings, DJ Kent, and Major League DJz, the Anything Goes summer lineup celebrates the artists and audiences shaping the country’s urban soundtrack.
From the deep-house pulse of Kunye to the carefree glamour of Paradisco, and the lifestyle-driven energy of Corona Sunsets Festival, Anything Goes continues to craft experiences that celebrate the art, diversity and optimism of South African urban culture.
Each event fuels the creative and tourism economy, supporting local businesses and showcasing the country’s vibrant festival culture to the world.
