Live Entertainment in Johannesburg

Ellis Park Arena is Johannesburg's primary indoor entertainment arena — a 16,000-capacity venue in Doornfontein serving South Africa's largest city and economic powerhouse. As the entertainment hub for a metropolitan area of 6 million people and the financial capital of sub-Saharan Africa, Ellis Park Arena draws on a market that includes South Africa's growing middle class, the large expatriate business community, and the enormous diaspora of African professionals who make Johannesburg Africa's most cosmopolitan city.

Ellis Park Stadium is one of the most historically significant sports venues in South African history — a 61,000-capacity Johannesburg arena where the 1995 Rugby World Cup Final between South Africa and New Zealand produced one of the most emotionally transformative sporting moments of the 20th century, when President Nelson Mandela wore Springbok captain Francois Pienaar's jersey to present the World Cup trophy and symbolically unite a deeply divided nation. The "rainbow nation" moment at Ellis Park remains one of the most powerful intersections of sport, politics, and national healing in world sporting history.

FNB Stadium (Soccer City) is the largest stadium in Africa — a 94,700-capacity Johannesburg arena that hosted the final of the 2010 FIFA World Cup (the first World Cup ever held on African soil) and Nelson Mandela's first post-prison public address. The stadium's extraordinary historical significance in South African and global sporting history, combined with its distinctive calabash design, make it the most symbolically important sports and concert venue on the African continent.

The Wanderers Stadium (Bullring) in Johannesburg is South Africa's most celebrated cricket ground — a 34,000-capacity Illovo arena where some of the most dramatic moments in Test cricket history have unfolded, including the highest-ever successful run chase in a One Day International (438 runs, South Africa vs Australia, 2006) and some of the most memorable innings by the Proteas. The Bullring's extraordinary atmosphere and its remarkable cricket heritage make it one of the great cricket venues in the world.
