Taking place on Sunday, 21 June, the much-loved concert series returns with an unforgettable afternoon of live music, family fun, and relaxed outdoor entertainment, headlined by South African music sensation Mi Casa and acclaimed singer-songwriter lordkez.
With just over a week to go, music lovers and families are encouraged to secure their tickets and start planning the perfect Father’s Day outing. Whether celebrating dads, grandfathers, mentors, or the special father figures in their lives, Old Mutual Music at the Lake offers the ideal setting to create lasting memories together.
Set against the tranquil backdrop of the Durban Botanic Gardens, concertgoers can look forward to a laid-back picnic experience, complete with camping chairs, picnic baskets, and cooler boxes, while enjoying some of South Africa’s finest musical talent.
Few live acts capture the spirit of celebration quite like Mi Casa.

Joining them is the captivating lordkez, whose soulful voice and genre-defying artistry continue to win over audiences across the country and beyond.

Launching the 2026 season on Father’s Day makes it even more special, as we celebrate the people who bring guidance, love, and support into our lives. We’re honoured to help create experiences that inspire joy while also supporting the important work being done at the Durban Botanic Gardens.”
The concert also continues its long-standing commitment to making a positive impact, with proceeds supporting the Garden Window Project, a pioneering people and plant development initiative that contributes to the Durban Botanic Gardens’ environmental education, sustainability, and community upliftment programmes.
