Recognised as one of South Africa's most versatile special event venues, the Coca-Cola dome has hosted an array of world class acts from Roxette to Ne-Yo, Sting to The Killers - and has been voted the best concert venue in Johannesburg by the Best of Joburg Readers' Choice Awards 2012. Over 60 000 readers' ballots revealed Johannesburg's top shopping, entertainment and dining outlets in approximately 100 categories.
Leisure Options is a free fortnightly entertainment guide distributed in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg featuring the hottest restaurants, shopping, music, nightlife and living in Johannesburg.
"It is an honour to know that the passion and hard work that we pour into every event at the Coca-Cola dome is recognised by our patrons. We will continue to successfully capture the unique spirit of Johannesburg, feeding its hunger for diverse and quality entertainment," commented Warren Green, commercial manager of the Coca-Cola dome.
As South Africa's most populous city and an undeniable hub of entertainment in the country, it is not surprising that more than 640 000 people visit the Coca-Cola dome every year. Besides the range of world class exhibitions held at this landmark venue, acts like John Legend, Cliff Richard and 30 seconds to Mars attract crowds of fans as diverse as the city itself.
Adam Lambert is the next big act to get the Jozi masses jumping on 16 November 2012. His successful appearance on the eighth season of American Idol launched Adam's career and catapulted the edgy pop singer into stardom. Numerous awards and nominations followed the release of his debut album, "For your entertainment" which also arrested the attention of icons such as Pharrell Williams and Bruno Mars - just two of the collaborating legends on his latest album "Trespassing".
The Coca-Cola dome always has another sizzling concert on the call sheet, which is wrapped up in 2012 with a performance by the controversial R&B heart throb, Chris Brown on 15 December.
Besides maintaining the utmost standards of safety and professionalism for organisers, the Coca-Cola dome's dedicated team guarantees its guests all the elements of a rocking event - easy access from all main routes and airports, ample secure parking, incredible sound definition and stage lighting, reliable refreshment and catering outlets as well as a line-up packed with A-list performances.
