Castle Lite and Let’s Afro Pacers are joining forces to bring Castle Lite Unlocks to Botswana, elevating the annual international festival into a high-energy celebration of music, culture and lifestyle.
Taking place on 30 September at Royal Aria Stadium, Tlokweng, Castle Lite Unlocks extends Botswana’s Independence Day celebrations into a night of music and culture, bringing local talent together with some of Africa’s biggest names.
The event runs from 2 p.m. to 5 a.m., with gates opening at noon. Guests can expect an Extra Cold experience with premium hospitality and immersive Castle Lite activations.
“For us, bringing Castle Lite on board as the Title Sponsor was a natural fit. The brand’s connection to music, culture and cool experiences aligns perfectly with what we wanted with Let’s Afro Pacers, and together we’re able to unlock something much bigger for Botswana,” says Mpho Leonard, Executive Director, Pacers Experiential Events.
After successful experiences across South Africa, Mozambique and Tanzania, Castle Lite Unlocks comes to Botswana with a high-energy, experiential celebration bringing African talent together.
The line-up features Runtown, Ice Prince and DJ Scratch Masta from Nigeria; Oscar Mbo, Ciza, Morda, Cairo, Sun-El and Venom from South Africa; and leading Botswana acts including BanT, Baxon and First Lady & Manzah. Mdu Tha Party, Domino and Nay8SZN will host as MCs.
With 70% of cash tickets sold and promotional tickets sold out, remaining tickets are limited. General: P200 | VIP: P800 for two | VVIP: by reservation, available at selected stores nationwide and via Tickito and Webtickets.
With thousands of guests expected, strict security, controlled access and multiple checkpoints will be in place. Only empty coolers with ice will be permitted.
The line-up is ready. The stage is set. So, Botswana, get your ticket, bring your crew, come early, and get ready to Unlock the Cold.
