Johannesburg is about to level up its live entertainment game in a big way. Meet The Dome – the city’s newest, state-of-the-art venue that’s set to open its doors in January 2025. Nestled in Nasrec, right next to the iconic FNB Stadium, The Dome promises to be South Africa’s largest dedicated live entertainment space, boasting a jaw-dropping capacity of over 10,500.
Where Music and Magic Meet
What makes The Dome truly exciting? It’s designed to be more than just a venue—it’s a cultural hub for local and pan-African talent. Imagine vibing to the beats of Afrobeats, Amapiano, Dance, Pop, Hip-Hop, and R&B under one roof. And here’s the cherry on top: Nigerian sensation Tems has already announced her first-ever solo headline show at The Dome on March 20, 2025. Yes, it’s going to be epic!
Not Just a Venue, but a Vision
Built entirely in South Africa, The Dome is a testament to local craftsmanship, featuring over 6,000sqm of multi-purpose space. Whether it’s electrifying concerts, stylish product launches, grand banquets, or cutting-edge exhibitions, this versatile venue has got it covered.
But it’s not just about the glitz and glam. The Dome is also on a mission to make a difference. It’s set to create jobs, support local businesses, and invest in community initiatives, driving economic growth in Johannesburg and beyond. Think of it as a space where entertainment meets empowerment.
