If you’re attending the SPAR Women’s Challenge in Durban this year, you’re going to want to save some energy for after you’ve crossed the finish line because the event is bringing a line-up of incredibly talented SA artists to keep the party going and get you moving to the beat!
Durban, South Africa (23 June 2026) – This year’s Durban SPAR Women’s Challenge is taking place on Sunday, 28 June and has an entertainment line-up that is sure to have participants and attendees moving to #CelebrateHer on the outer fields of the Kings Park Stadium.
Returning this year as the main act, Liam and Jane Magner (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 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 connects with audiences in a way few others can. You can catch their Magnetic performance at 10.30 am.
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 09.15 am
