Old Mutual Music at the Lake returns with Mi Casa and lordkez
Music lovers can expect an afternoon of soulful sounds, and picnic vibes when Old Mutual Music at the Lake returns with Mi Casa.
SOUTH African music icon Mi Casa and RnB and neo-soul sensation lordkez have been named as the headline acts of the 2026 season launch of Old Mutual Music at the Lake on Sunday, June 21.
Coinciding with Father’s Day, the event will be held at Durban Botanic Gardens and the gates open at 14:00. It will mark the official start of the winter concert calendar for Old Mutual Music at the Lake.
“This opening event also serves as a Father’s Day celebration, inviting families and friends to honour the father figures in their lives,” said the organisers.

With a genre-blending line-up, including Mi Casa and lordkez, audiences can expect a carefully curated selection of fan favourites and timeless hits like Jika, delivered in an intimate, open-air setting.

Retail Mass Market marketing executive at Old Mutual, Molise Moloi, said Old Mutual Music at the Lake has become more than about the concert.
“They are opportunities for families and friends to come together in a serene outdoor setting and create lasting memories. Launching the 2026 season on Father’s Day makes it even more special, as we celebrate the people who bring guidance, love, and support into our lives,” said Moloi.

“We’re honoured to help create experiences that inspire joy while also supporting the important work being done at the Durban Botanic Gardens.”
Beyond the music, the event contributes to the Garden Window Project, a community-focused initiative based at the Durban Botanic Gardens that promotes environmental awareness, skills development, and social upliftment.
Attendees are encouraged to bring picnic baskets, cooler boxes, blankets, and camping chairs, making for a relaxed, comfortable and memorable day under the winter sun. For more information and tickets, visit Webtickets; prices range from R20 to R280.
