Bryson Tiller, Masego & DJ Mustard Headline The Ascots as Durban July Enters a New Era of Luxury Experience
Aline Media Group is set to redefine the Durban July experience on 4 July 2026 with the debut of The Ascots — a bold fusion of world-class music, premium hospitality and elevated culinary experiences.
For the first time in Durban July history, three international headliners — Bryson Tiller, Masego and Grammy Award-winning DJ Mustard — will perform on one stage, alongside South African favourites including Shekhinah, Elaine and Tresor.

Curated by Aline Media Group and founded by Grammy-winning producer Sibo Mhlungu, The Ascots will transform 4,000sqm of Greyville Racecourse into an exclusive boutique festival for just 2,000 guests — pairing world-class entertainment with curated dining by Tyler’s and Tightline Seafood Butcher.
With a focus on seamless luxury from arrival to the final act, The Ascots signals a new era for Durban July.
