Welcome to JOLmag.co.za, the source of all your answers to that recurring question - What can I do tonight? Joburg is an exciting city with something happening every night of the week, but it can be hard to find out what's happening and where.

As well as covering the large events which get all the publicity, we aim to keep you up to date on the smaller day-to-day happenings that slip through the mainstream cracks - from happy hours and food specials to open mike nights and low-key exhibitions.

At the moment, although we have gigs well covered, we are still far from complete in our other listings. If you know of any venues, parties, performances, exhibitions or specials that we have missed, please drop us a mail at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
