Get ready for the Father’s Day Celebration (part of the Old Mutual Music at the Lake concert series) at the Durban Botanic Gardens on Sunday, 21 June 2026. Yes, folks the beloved concert series is back and it’s kick-starting this year with a banger!
South African music giants Mi Casa and the incredibly talented rising star lordkez are set to headline the opening show. Together, they promise an unforgettable afternoon of incredible live music, family connection, and relaxed outdoor vibes at one of Durban’s most iconic venues.
A Unique Set and a Stunning Winter Venue
Set against the tranquil backdrop of the lake and towering trees, Music at the Lake has built a reputation as one of the city’s most cherished live music traditions. It offers the perfect blend of top-tier local talent and laid-back, picnic-style entertainment.
This year, the Father’s Day launch adds an extra layer of excitement for fans. Organisers have teased that Mi Casa will be bringing a totally unique, completely different set tailored specifically for the Durban Botanic Gardens crowd – making it a performance you won’t want to miss. Concertgoers are encouraged to pack their picnic baskets, cooler boxes, and camping chairs to settle in for a beautiful afternoon under the winter sun.
Meet the Headliners at the Father’s Day Celebration
Mi Casa: Renowned for their uplifting energy and massive list of chart-topping radio hits, the soulful trio will deliver an explosive headlining performance packed with crowd favourites.
