Molise Moloi, Old Mutual Retail Mass Market Marketing Executive, said the concert series has become about much more than live music.

“These concerts have become an opportunity 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.

“We’re honoured to help create experiences that inspire joy while also supporting the important work being done at the Durban Botanic Gardens,” said Moloi.

Concertgoers are encouraged to bring picnic baskets, camping chairs and cooler boxes as they settle in for an afternoon under the winter sun. Tickets range from R20 to R295 and are available from Pick n Pay stores nationwide or through Webtickets.
