Mango Groove to host monumental 40th anniversary concert in Joburg this September

To mark an extraordinary 40 years of music, Mango Groove and BreakOut Events are proud to present The Mango Groove 40th Anniversary Concert: Memories and Moments Live at the Walter Sisulu National Botanical Gardens in Johannesburg on Sunday, 14 September 2025.

This unmissable Jozi hometown celebration marks Mango Groove’s first major Johannesburg performance in five years and follows on the heels of their sold-out 40th anniversary kick-off concert at
Cape Town’s iconic Kirstenbosch Gardens in January.

“Kirstenbosch was such a special and moving show for us,” says lead singer Claire Johnston. “The
response was overwhelming and affirmed that this is something we had to bring home to Jozi. After
considering many venues, we knew the Walter Sisulu Gardens was the perfect choice. Family-friendly,
stunningly beautiful, and ideal for a day under our blue African skies.”

The concert will feature special guest performances from Ross Learmonth and Majozi, as well as dazzling visual production, and the adorable Special Star dancers.

Expect a nostalgic celebration of hits, stories and visuals, wrapped in a giant Mango Groove-style party. “This isn’t just a concert,” Claire adds. “It’s a moving celebration of our country and the journey we’ve all
shared. It’s about joy, connection, and the power of music to bring people together.”
