The much-anticipated Galaxy 947 Joburg Day returned on Saturday, 6 September 2025, and cemented its reputation as one of the biggest highlights on South Africa’s entertainment calendar. Thousands of Joburgers flocked to the Crocodile Creek Polo Club in Lanseria for a day packed with world-class music, family-friendly fun, and unforgettable experiences.
Adding to the magic, Samsung brought innovation to the fore as visitors were treated to hands-on experiences of the all-new Galaxy Z Fold7, Z Flip7, Z Flip7 FE, and Galaxy Watch8 at the Samsung Zone. The interactive space buzzed with activity as festival-goers also participated in the hourly competition, which offered various exciting prizes, including smartphones and accessories. They created fun content, tested Galaxy AI features on the devices, and took home exclusive giveaways – folding, flipping, and flexing their creativity like never before.
The star of the Samsung Zone was the expansive and highly impressive Galaxy Z Fold7, which proudly displayed its talents as the flagship device behind this edition of Joburg Day. The Z Fold7, re-engineered to be Samsung’s most innovative design, and the slimmest and lightest Fold yet, showed just how, with it in your hands, you can unfold ultra performance and experience an event like Joburg Day in a new, refreshing way.
With its 200MP camera powered by the AI ProVisual Engine, the Galaxy Z Fold7 makes sure every beat, every light show, and every memory is captured in jaw-dropping detail. Whether you’re right up front at the stage or vibing further back with friends, the advanced zoom and multi-angle features let you frame the perfect shot without missing a moment. The AI-enhanced Nightography ensures your festival selfies, group shots, and videos look sharp and vibrant even after the sun goes down. And with an all-day battery life, you’ve got the power to capture, share, and stream from the first to the last act without stress.
On the main stage, from amapiano beats to hip-hop anthems and chart-topping pop, the stellar 2025 line-up had something for everyone. Festival-goers danced, picnicked, and sang along to electrifying performances that brought the heart and soul of South African music to life. With wide-open lawns, kid-friendly areas, and an array of food stalls serving up mouth-watering options, the festival was the ultimate spring outing for families, friends, and music lovers alike.
The atmosphere proved why Galaxy 947 Joburg Day is a must on the city’s cultural calendar. With music, technology, food, and laughter filling the air from sunrise to sunset, the event once again lived up to its promise as ‘Joburg’s favourite day out’.
