Jullian Gomes Headlines Ultimate Deep House Session at Eagle Waters Hartbeespoort [Sept 12]

The Ultimate Deep House Session takes over Eagle Waters Wildlife Resort in Hartbeespoort today, Saturday 12 September 2026, with Jullian Gomes topping a bill that includes Ralf GUM, Monique Bingham and Nutty Nys. It’s a Saturday-pass-only event built around a camping experience on the dam, with listings putting the start at 12:01 and the music running well into the night.

Tickets are on sale through Webtickets at around R1,566 for the Saturday pass. There’s no sign of a sell-out yet, and door sales haven’t been advertised anywhere we can find, so don’t leave it late.

The lineup

Jullian Gomes is the reason most people will make the drive. He’s spent more than a decade shaping South Africa’s deep and soulful house sound, from his early 1000 Seconds work with Blackwhole through to solo releases like Uhambo, and “Love Song 28” remains one of the genre’s local touchstones. His sets lean melodic and soulful rather than big-room, which suits an afternoon-to-midnight format.

He’s in good company. Ralf GUM brings the GOGO Music pedigree, the label behind compilations like 12 Years of House, while Monique Bingham is still one of soulful house’s most dependable live vocalists. Nutty Nys, DJ Nastee Nev and Lady Sakhe fill out the confirmed names, with the bill promising more beyond that.

Expect a single outdoor groove rather than a multi-stage festival. The resort setting means poolside amenities, open lawns and a dam backdrop, with programming that stretches from afternoon deep into the night. The GOGO Music camp has been pushing the groove angle in its promo since the announcements earlier this week, and nothing in the material points to an amapiano crossover crowd. This is a deep house day, full stop.

Gomes listed the Eagle Waters date on his September schedule on Instagram at the start of the month, and the comments underneath have been the usual mix of excitement and people asking exactly where the resort is. Beyond that, chatter has been quiet. This one is selling on the strength of the lineup rather than hype.

Tickets, times and getting there

The Saturday pass costs about R1,566 across the ticketing platforms, with international listings showing an equivalent of roughly 90 US dollars. There’s no published tier structure beyond the Saturday pass and no confirmation of a sell-out as of this morning. Buy online rather than gambling on the gate.

Doors are listed at 12:01, which reads like a ticketing-system default, so treat it as an early-afternoon start. No age policy has been published in the material we’ve seen, though past events at the resort have kept things to over-18s, so confirm before planning a family outing.

Getting there is straightforward. Eagle Waters sits on Oberon Street on the Broederstroom side of the Hartbeespoort Dam in North West province, about an hour’s drive from Johannesburg and less from Pretoria. Self-drive is the norm for Hartbeespoort events and safe parking has been standard at past events here, so line up a designated driver or sort a lift in advance. The resort was also caught up in the City of Tshwane’s arrears crackdown that cut electricity to local venues a while back, so if you’re camping, a torch and a charged power bank are sensible.

The bottom line: if soulful, melodic deep house is your thing and you’re within reach of Hartbeespoort, this is about as strong a one-day bill as the area will see this spring. Grab the Saturday pass on me-ticket now, and if you’re camping, arrive early enough to set up before Gomes takes the decks.
