Durban SPAR Women’s 10 / 5km Challenge: J-Cue up for a Magner’tic fun finish vibe

Durban: Sunday 28 June Save some energy for when you cross the finish line as this year’s entertainment after the Durban SPAR Women’s 10 / 5km Challenge will be sure to get you moving to  #CelebrateHer on the outer fields of the Hollywoodbets Kings Park Stadium on Sunday 28 June.  

Returning this year as the main act, Veranda Panda are back with their vibrant, colourful, eclectic music. The husband-and-wife duo have headlined at a variety of big festivals, including Splashy Fen, Sakifo in Reunion and Up the Creek to name a few. They have wowed crowds with their dynamic, high-energy set at one of Durban’s most iconic outdoor settings, Music at the Lake at the Botanical Gardens and now head to the Women’s Challenge stage. 

Liam and Jane Magner blend their classical instrumentation with cutting-edge electronic production, creating a powerful sonic experience. Jane carves up the stage with her electric violin and vocals, while Liam styles behind his desk firing out his electronic beats. Veranda Panda command the stage and connect with audiences in a way few others can – catch their Magner’tic performance from at 10.30am. 

Warming the crowds up before this, DJ J-Cue will welcome the throng of jovial finishers. The magician behind the decks will share his feel-good vibes and emotive music that has roots in soul, dance music, deep house, jazz and Afrocentric sounds. He starts spinning his discs at 09.15am
