Gauteng’s biggest New Year’s Eve bash is back: Here’s how much tickets cost

If you’ve been feeling bummed about the fact that you can’t go to the coast for the December festive season, your evening is about to get a whole lot better.

You might not be able to smell the ocean on New Year’s Eve, but you can have the party of your life with your friends at Sun International’s Time Square NYE Block Party on 31 December.

In what will be the fourth edition of the popular party to bid farewell to the year, Time Square is giving partygoers the chance to ring in 2023 with banging tunes and state-of-the-art lighting.

Featuring 15 of South Africa’s best beat mixers on the decks, artists include Ayanda MVP, Da Josh, DJ Kent, Dino Bravo, Dali Wonga, DJ Ready D, Chris Beatz, Kabza De Small, Shekinah, Pabi Cooper, Prince Kaybee, and Young Stunna.

“The previous parties drew capacity crowds to our state-of-the-art SunBet Arena, and we are expecting this year’s event, post-pandemic, to be bigger and better, having bolstered the line-up with more top local DJs to entertain,” said Time Square General Manager Ruben Gooranah.

“Partygoers can expect an audiovisual spectacular which is on par with the biggest in the world.”
