2025 is the Year of the Mango, and to mark an extraordinary 40 years of music, joy and unity, 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 Garden 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. That show set a new bar for celebration, spectacle, and sentiment – now, it’s Jozi’s turn to experience the magic.
“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 mirror the Kirstenbosch production while adding unique touches and surprises exclusive to the Jozi edition, including special guest performances from Ross Learmonth and Majozi, a 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.”
