One of Gauteng’s most anticipated music and lifestyle events, 947 Joburg Day, is returning to Crocodile Creek Polo Club in Lanseria on Saturday, 5 September 2026, promising a day packed with South Africa’s biggest music stars, unforgettable experiences and thousands of fans celebrating together under the spring sun.
This year’s event also marks an exciting new partnership with GoTyme Bank, a collaboration that reflects the bank’s commitment to connecting with South Africans far beyond traditional banking.
More Than Banking—Building Real Connections
For Lucia Malapane, Head of Brand at GoTyme Bank, partnering with 947 Joburg Day is about showing up where customers create memories.
“The Joburg Day partnership is an important opportunity for GoTyme Bank to connect with South Africans in a way that goes beyond traditional banking,” says Malapane.
She explains that 947 Joburg Day has grown into one of Gauteng’s most recognised live music and lifestyle events, bringing together thousands of people through a shared love of local music, culture and community.
Rather than simply promoting banking products, the partnership allows GoTyme Bank to engage consumers in an energetic and positive environment while introducing more South Africans to the brand.
“At its core, the partnership is about building genuine connections,” Malapane explains. “It reflects our commitment to being a bank that is not only simple, rewarding and accessible, but also present in the communities we serve.”
A Strategy Built Around Community
The collaboration forms part of GoTyme Bank’s broader growth strategy following its recent rebrand.
According to Malapane, the objectives behind the partnership include strengthening brand awareness, building stronger customer relationships and connecting with digitally savvy consumers who value convenient, innovative and rewarding banking experiences.
The event also creates opportunities for customers to enjoy exclusive brand experiences while allowing GoTyme Bank to introduce its banking proposition in a trusted and culturally relevant environment.
By participating in one of Gauteng’s flagship entertainment events, the bank aims to deepen customer engagement while expanding its customer base across South Africa.
For GoTyme Bank, the partnership reinforces a simple belief: banking should feel accessible, relevant and connected to everyday life.
Everyone’s a Headliner
This year’s 947 Joburg Day embraces the theme “Everyone’s a Headliner,” celebrating not only the artists on stage but every fan attending the festival.
Festival-goers can expect an impressive lineup featuring some of South Africa’s biggest names in music, including Lordkez, Locnville, Sun-El Musician, DJ Zinhle, Will Linley, Cassper Nyovest, Zee Nxumalo, Mi Casa, Kabza De Small, MÖRDA and the Soweto Gospel Choir, with more performances throughout the day.
Families are encouraged to bring picnic blankets, gather friends and enjoy a full day of live entertainment in a relaxed outdoor setting.
