The Ascots is a premium hospitality and music experience inside the Durban July. The event is planned by Aline Media Group and founded by music executive Sibo Mhlungu. He says the intention of the event is more than just a show.

“The focus is on the full experience, from arrival to the final act. As someone born and bred in Durban, this is more than just an event to me, it’s a way to uplift and contribute to my hometown. For years, Durban has been treated as a secondary market for large-scale shows and has rarely been considered a destination for international artists or events of this scale,” he said.

The most expensive package includes a private marquee setup with dedicated services.The music lineup includes South African acts such as Shekhinah, Elaine, and Tresor.

Durban July is centered on horse racing and fashion, but the addition of a music festival inside the event shows the focus is on creating entertainment that can attract top stars like Masego, Bryson Tiller, and DJ Mustard.
