Two major lifestyle brands – HUAWEI and Jacaranda FM – set Idlewinds Country Estate on fire this past Saturday. Thousands joined the music festival where Mzansi’s biggest artists like Early B, Refentse, Goodluck, Matthew Mole, Mafikizolo, and Martin Bester and his Band entertained families from morning to night.
Crowds were ushered to their feet by Jacaranda FM presenters throughout the day, bringing the familiar voices heard on Jacaranda FM every day, to a full day of interaction with their favourite on-air personalities.
“This was our very first time performing at HUAWEI Jacaranda Day. What we loved about this event is that it’s a family event, it’s always nice to have an event where you can bring your friends, your family, your uncles and cousins, and everyone. I hope this continues next year thank you for inviting Mafikizolo – the crowd was amaaaaaazing” – Mafikizolo
“I really enjoyed showing people a different side of myself with my set. There’s no crowd like the Jacaranda FM crowd!” – Rob Forbes

“Jacaranda Day is always my favourite event of the year without a doubt and I missed it so so much. The HUAWEI Jacaranda Day was just something special this year. The love and vibe we felt on stage was indescribable, especially when you see everyone signing along, the sea of faces smiling and waving their hands in that air, just coming together for the love of music and love of families. I met so many amazing listeners and just spending the day with everyone was truly special” – Martin Bester
“I am blown away by Pretoria and Johannesburg. 10,000 people have filled up Jacaranda Day! The energy and the vibe is out of this world and I am so impressed that the city supports live music on the scale that it does! We had the best time on stage!” – Jules Harding of Goodluck.
“What a collaboration between HUAWEI and Jacaranda FM. A powerhouse communications technology brand like HUAWEI collaborating with a radio station as beloved as Jacaranda FM, set the barometer for creating a magical musical festival,” comments Deirdre King, Managing Director of Jacaranda FM.
