“Performing in South Africa, with its deep house music roots, electrifying energy, and mesmerizing setting, was nothing short of magic,” shared MoBlack, reflecting on his experience at the Corona Sunsets Festival. But magic doesn’t even begin to cover it.
This wasn’t just a festival—it was a sensory journey. A global ode to music, mindfulness, and the planet itself, the Corona Sunsets Festival World Tour follows the sun across the globe, transforming iconic beach locations into immersive stages where nature takes center stage. In 2023, it all began in Cape Town, as the golden sands of Clifton became a playground for music and art, where the sunset wasn’t just admired—it was celebrated.
Stepping into the festival felt like stepping into another world. Greeted by Nature’s Goddess—a towering sculpture by South African artist Daniel Popper—attendees were instantly reminded of their connection to the earth. The colossal figure wasn’t just art; it was a heartbeat, grounding the festival’s ethos of sustainability and mindfulness.
The opening ceremony set the tone for this journey. Poet Siphokazi Jonas wove words into magic, while spiritual healer Nkosenathi Koela invited the crowd into a stone-casting ritual that blended ancient wisdom with modern reverence.
While the beats were unforgettable, with local and international artists crafting soundscapes as the sun melted into the horizon, the festival offered more than just sound. It was a full-spectrum experience—a union of rhythm, taste, and touch.
Think yoga sessions in the golden hour, silent discos that felt like private conversations with the universe, and sustainably sourced feasts that celebrated local flavors. Scattered across the grounds, art installations raised awareness about ocean conservation, offering a visual reminder of why events like this matter.
On day two, the vibe shifted to pure restoration at Corona Sunsets Unwind at The Lawns in Camps Bay. Guided walks through nature, revitalizing ice baths, and meditative yoga sessions invited attendees to reconnect not just with nature but with themselves. All of this unfolded to a downtempo soundtrack led by Nightmares on Wax, whose sunset session was as hypnotic as it was soulful.
“The Corona Sunsets Festival is a love letter to simplicity—those moments when nature and music remind us of what really matters,” said Melanie Nicholson, Head of Brand for Corona South Africa. “Cape Town, with its incredible coastline, was the perfect backdrop for our commitment to sustainability and living mindfully.”
This wasn’t just an event; it was an art piece painted with sunsets, sound, and sustainability. It challenged the notion of festivals as fleeting moments, instead rooting them in purpose and creativity.
Cape Town’s chapter of the Corona Sunsets Festival was more than a celebration of the sun—it was a celebration of what happens when music, nature, and mindfulness collide. Here’s to chasing sunsets, one iconic location at a time.
