DJ Tira on what to expect from Afrotainment at Durban July 2024

Following a spectacular success last year, DJ Tira and his team are set to once again dazzle guests at the Afrotainment Marquee at the Hollywoodbets Durban July this year.

The highly anticipated horse racing event is set to take place on 6 July at the Greyville Racecourse in Durban,KwaZulu-Natal (KZN).

Known for delivering the ultimate entertainment and hospitality, DJ Tira said the Afrotainment Marquee promises to be no different.

He told The Citizen that people should expect a highly decorated marquee as usual.

“We spent a lot of money to make sure that our marquee looks the part. Our marquee has an indoor and an outdoor area, so you can choose if you want to chill outdoors or indoors with VIP in our elevated marquee. People have a choice.

“We’ve got VIP inside and VIP outside, but there is entertainment, great food, and teleportation.”

High fashion and entertainment

DJ Tira said for his outfit, he is working with his favourite designer, Ole Ledimo from House of Ole.

“I’ve already contacted Ole, who normally provides me with the outfit, so we’re working on doing something amazing this year.”

Speaking about this year’s theme, Ride the Wave, he said: “In Durban, we are all about the sea. So, if we start to appreciate the waves and the sea, then we connect.

“People must come down to have a good time at the race, and afterwards, they must not forget to go ride the real waves at the beach. But this year, we’re floating at the Durban July.”

He added that he is expecting very high fashion from people coming to the Afrotainment Marquee.

“I want them to be impressed when they arrive because the marquee is going to be on another level. So, if they bring the fashion and I bring an amazing marquee, we are going to take amazing pictures.”
