BENCHED: After Dark

Where padel goes off the rails!

We kick off with a 2-hour advanced men’s tournament by 16 of the best players at Virgin Active Padel Club, Epicentre— then the lights drop, the house lights switch off, and the club becomes a club-club.

From 9 pm, the courts are open to the public: play if you want, party if you don’t. You don’t need to know padel to belong here. This is public play meets party — no boundaries, no rules, just energy.

The soundtrack? Cape Town’s own Gary Night, bringing the kind of sets that turn a padel venue into a dance floor. Think sweat, sneakers, strobes, and the first event of its kind in South Africa. Nothing like you’ve seen before.

Only 100 tickets available.
