When the sun goes down, South Africa comes alive.

From the thumping bass of a nightclub in Sandton to the soulful saxophones of a jazz lounge in Cape Town, we list the events that make our cities electric.

Music is the heartbeat of SA, and we feature a massive variety of genres.

We understand that safety and atmosphere are crucial for a good night out. Our listings provide details on venues, start times, and ticket prices so you can plan your evening perfectly. whether you are looking for a VIP table experience, a grungy rock show, or a laid-back evening with acoustic tunes and cocktails, browse our Nightlife & Gigs section to find out where the party is at this weekend.
