Smirnoff ICE brought unapologetic vibes and inclusive joy as the headliner of H2O, one of Africa’s most iconic electronic dance music events. Known for drawing massive crowds of music lovers, H2O became the perfect stage for Smirnoff ICE to connect culture, energy, and refreshment in an unforgettable celebration.
This year, H2O took fans on a Rave Safari, a sonic adventure that followed the untamed soundwave to the rhythm of Africa and beyond. From Cape to Cairo, the lineup blended local legends, international guests, and global stars with African roots, creating a journey across the continent’s most exciting electronic music sounds.
The refreshing taste of Smirnoff ICE flowed throughout the event, fueling moments of joy and connection. Sets by Lemon & Herb, Ali & Fila, Goldfish, Kilimanjaro, Kyle Watson, and DJ Speedsta amplified the energy, making the day a true celebration of music, dance, and community.
“H2O is more than a music festival, it’s a cultural space where people come together to celebrate creativity, resilience, and joy,” said Ifeoma Agu, Head of Culture SWC. “As Smirnoff ICE, we were proud to headline this iconic event and keep the vibes alive. Nakanjani, the joy never stops.”
The bold new Smirnoff ICE pack design was at the heart of the experience, reflecting the vibrancy of the crowd and the culture it champions. More than a single night, the takeover reaffirmed Smirnoff ICE’s place in music and culture as the brand that delivers joy and energy to the people.
And this is just the beginning. As summer unfolds, Smirnoff ICE plans to take over even more cultural events, festivals, and community celebrations, bringing inclusive joy, bold refreshment, and unforgettable vibes to South Africans everywhere.
Consumers can grab Smirnoff ICE packs at leading retailers and be part of a movement that keeps the vibes going.
