Ekurhuleni welcomes back Lira for the 10th Business Premium Jazz Festival.
Multi-platinum selling and award-winning artist Lira is returning to the Ekurhuleni stage as the headline act for the 10th edition of the festival. Set to take place on August 2 at Carnival City, it will feature artists such as Lira, Thandiswa Mazwai, Amanda Black and Thembisa Jazz Masters.
This year’s edition marks a significant milestone for the festival, which has steadily grown into one of South Africa’s premier music and lifestyle experiences. Themed as a celebration of women in music, the 2025 festival will feature an all-female line-up of some of the country’s most accomplished and dynamic artists.
This special edition not only highlights the strength and artistry of women in South Africa’s music industry but also celebrates the resilience and evolution of the festival in its 10th year. What began as a niche jazz experience has become a staple on Gauteng’s cultural calendar, attracting thousands of music lovers annually and showcasing the best in Afro-soul, jazz, and contemporary sounds.
“Our 10th anniversary is a tribute to all the artists, patrons and partners who’ve walked this journey with us,” said Richard Ramudzuli, founder of Thikho Events.
“Having Lira return to Ekurhuleni for this special occasion, with an incredible all-women line-up, is a full-circle moment and a powerful way to celebrate music, womanhood and 10 years of premium entertainment.”
The event promises an evening of elegance, soul-stirring performances and a refined musical experience that caters to jazz lovers, mature audiences and fans of authentic South African talent. With meticulously curated production and a luxurious atmosphere, the festival remains committed to delivering quality entertainment and cultural enrichment.
