SECRETS NYE 2026

14,000 people. 40+ artists. 3 dance floors.

SA's Biggest New Year’s Eve countdown.

THE PRODUCTION

Our biggest stage ever. Bigger, bolder and built to deliver an unforgettable New Year's Eve experience.

Prepare for a 6D audiovisual spectacle with breathtaking visuals, immersive lighting, heart-pounding sound and spectacular special effects, all building towards South Africa's biggest midnight countdown.

From sunset to midnight, every moment is designed to pull you deeper into the experience. When the clock strikes twelve, expect an explosion of music, lights, fireworks and pure energy that you'll be talking about long after the new year begins.

THE MUSIC

International DJs. South Africa's leading artists. Live performers, vocalists, dancers, and immersive entertainment - alongside massive production and a groundbreaking 6D Midnight Countdown Experience.

The full lineup drops later this month. International headliners. SA's biggest names. The moment those names go public, two things happen: prices go up and tickets go fast. The people reading this now are the ones who get both - the best price and the free ticket. After the drop, neither exists.

NEW ADD-ON: THE UNLIMITED OPEN BAR PASS

First time in Secrets of Summer history. One pass. Open bar from 7pm to 11:30pm. Strictly limited to 500 passes - when they're gone, they're gone. Add it at checkout.
