Who remembers The Dome in Northriding? It was home to many exciting events, expos, and concerts back in the day. But, we have just heard that there's a new "Dome" venue in Joburg, which can be found in Nasrec! It's said to be opening its doors in January 2025.
New Venue Revolutionising Live Entertainment
The Dome, a brand-new, cutting-edge venue in Johannesburg is scheduled to open in January 2025. This has been announced by Stadium Management South Africa in collaboration with Live Nation and Gearhouse South Africa.
Located in Nasrec, across from the FNB Stadium, the new Dome venue will become one South Africa’s largest live entertainment space, with a capacity of over 10,500.
With genres including Afrobeats, Amapiano, Dance, Pop, Hip-Hop, and R&B, The Dome will serve as a platform for regional and international talent. The venue's first solo headline performance by Nigerian Afrobeats artist, Tems is scheduled for 20 March 2025.
The venue, which was entirely designed, produced, and constructed in South Africa, has more than 6,000 square metres of multipurpose space and can be used for conferences, product launches, banquets, and exhibitions. The venue and its partners are committed to promoting regional economic development and making investments in the nation's live events sector. In addition to holding top-notch events, The Dome will start community projects, support nearby companies, and generate jobs.
Justin Van Wyk, CEO at Live Nation South Africa said: “The Dome fills a critical gap in South Africa’s live entertainment scene, creating a unique space that will support pan-African talent.
