Gallo Record Company marks its 100th anniversary with a one-day festival on Cape Town’s Grand Parade, billed as a celebration of a century of African music, culture and memory. The label has recorded and preserved artists from Solomon Linda and Miriam Makeba to Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
Black Coffee headlines. DJ Maphorisa is confirmed for an Afro House set, and Julian Gomez has also joined the bill, with more artists and the full line-up still to be announced.
The day combines live music with archive-led storytelling and cultural moments drawn from Gallo’s collection, alongside food, bars and VIP experiences. The festival forms part of a wider centenary programme that includes exhibitions, documentary work, playlists and educational initiatives.
Entry is for guests aged 18 and over. Bar, food and merchandise are not included in the ticket price unless stated, and tickets are non-refundable unless the event is cancelled.
