WORLD-CLASS SERVICE
“We know our customers always receive a world class event experience at the Coca-Cola dome, and that is something we are very proud of.” says Warren Green, Commercial Manager of the Coca-Cola dome.
Due to their excellent organisational and service skills, the Coca-Cola dome hosted five successful concerts within six days in the first week of December. Kicking off with the Dave Matthews Band, followed by the Jacaranda 94.2 and Spar Carols by Candlelight, Maxwell and two Nickelback performances.
The life of Nelson Mandela was also remembered: Maxwell dedicated his performance to Madiba, and Nickelback paid tribute to the great man with a video montage. While the Coca Cola dome mourns his loss, we have also been able to celebrate the phenomenal man he was, and his legacy to us.
The Coca Cola dome wraps up this busy year as Extreme Fighting Championship AFRICA returns to the Coca-Cola dome for the final and biggest event of the season. The venue will host the monumental EFC AFRICA heavyweight trilogy championship fight on 12 December.
