Boomtown at the Hollywoodbets Durban July 2025
Boomtown returns for its 15th show-stopping year at Greyville Racecourse on 5 July 2025, once again transforming the iconic Durban July into a full-throttle celebration of music, fashion, and high-end hospitality. Known as one of South Africa’s premier race day experiences, Boomtown is set to raise the bar with a star-studded entertainment lineup and luxury festival amenities.
Guests can expect an immersive atmosphere with performances from some of the country’s biggest names, including Cassper Nyovest, Sjava, Nasty C, DJ Fresh, Ami Faku, Oscar Mbo, Sphectacula & DJ Naves, DJ Speedsta, and Culoe De Song—with more artists still to be announced. Backed by top-tier production, the event promises high-quality lighting, sound, and staging to match the electric energy of the crowd.

Beyond the music, Boomtown’s festival village will boast raised hospitality decks, race betting lounges, stylish photo zones, big screens broadcasting the races, and food and drink stations to satisfy every craving. Premium lounges and open bars will be accessible at selected ticket levels, creating a seamless blend of entertainment and indulgence. Ticket options cater to a range of tastes and budgets. The “Next Gen” ticket is available for guests aged 18 to 25, priced from R252 to R790 depending on the booking phase.
General access ranges from R426 to R686 and offers open seating, food vendors, and cash bars. For those seeking something more exclusive, the VIP option (around R2 957 per person) includes a raised viewing deck, buffet meals, and an open bar until 5 pm. The VVIP package (about R3 826) extends bar service until 10 pm and adds premium dining. Private VVIP tables, designed for groups, go for approximately R4 990 per person and include welcome drinks and personal bottle service.
It’s important to note that Boomtown tickets do not include general racecourse entry unless otherwise specified in the premium packages—so attendees should ensure they purchase both if needed.
