To celebrate Valentine’s Day and the month of love, the popular new lifestyle & music event series, The Soirée by Stella Artois, returns to Johannesburg on February 18th, with The Lovers’ Edition at picturesque Toadbury Hall Country Hotel near Lanseria.

In this, the third installment of The Soirée, eventgoers can expect a stellar music line-up with a distinctive Afro-soul leaning, and love at the center of all things lyrical, including SAMA award-winning artists Elaine, Lloyiso, Amanda Black and AKA, as well as house DJ Marcus Harvey, DJ Loveslavephola, DJ & mixologist, Mmisology, and funk DJ, Sumthin Brown.

Lloyiso has been working on a new collaboration with Grammy award-winning UK electronic group, Clean Bandit, which is expected to be released soon while, having recently returned from the US (where her face adorned billboards on New York’s Times Square), Elaine is also currently working on her debut album. Multi award-winning and platinum selling Afro-soul artist, Amanda Black, is well known for her socially conscious songs while AKA will be releasing a much-anticipated new album, ‘Mass Country’.

“I can’t wait to perform at The Soirée which has become an important platform for bringing people together in deep and meaningful connections. I can’t wait to share my latest body of work and what better place to do so than in the month of love,”.

says Lloyiso

With its mature trees and expansive country lawns, only 20 minutes from both Joburg and Pretoria, Toadbury Hall Hotel is an exceptional setting for the other lifestyle elements of The Soirée – Lovers’ Edition, which includes an artisanal food experience with hand-crafted culinary offerings such as Frites Artois (crisp Belgian fries), Argentinian BBQ, prawns, oysters & sushi, braai and Asian bao dumplings, not to mention Stella draught and cocktails.

In collaboration with eatery, The Lucky Bread Company, The Stella Deli will also afford guests the opportunity to pre-order picnic baskets for two online or purchase them on the day. The deli will have a variety of cheeses, dried and cold meats, artisanal bread, spreads, and exotic fruits to choose from as well as a dessert section and Stella merchandise on sale, from cutting boards, to aprons, caps and limited-edition shopping bags as well as the iconic Stella Artois chalices (which can be engraved with personal messaging on the day).

“Valentine’s Day is a wonderful reminder to care more for those we love, whether it’s your partner, friends or family. We want this edition of The Soirée to be just that – a place where we can slow down, connect with each other, and share the enjoyment of great music and delicious food. That’s what The Life Artois is all about,”.

says Estee Burger, Marketing Manager, Stella Artois

The Soirée by Stella Artois Lovers’ Edition starts at noon and ends at 9pm on February 18. To purchase tickets, go to Howler.
