The cat is out the bag. The theme for this year’s Hollywoodbets Durban July to be held at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Saturday, 6 July has been unveiled.
Well-known South African graffiti artist Shaun Oakley, popularly known as “Damn Vandal”, unveiled the Hollywoodbets Durban July theme through a billboard vandalism stunt.
The recent “vandalisation” of Hollywoodbets’ billboard on Sandton Drive in Johannesburg sparked a citywide conversation about art, advertising, and the upcoming Hollywoodbets Durban July.
What initially seemed like an act of mischief turned out to be an artistic statement by the Durban-born artist.
The incident, which occurred during peak hour traffic on Monday this week, saw the massive billboard transformed into a vibrant canvas showcasing the theme of this year’s Hollywoodbets Durban July, “Ride the Wave”.
The graffiti art captured the essence of the event, carefully crafted to ignite imagination and spark inspiration, weaving together the elements of horseracing, fashion and entertainment.
Tickets will go on sale in April via Ticketpro.
