Renowned Graffiti Artist Shaun Oakley, popularly known as “Damn Vandal”, unveiled the spectacular Hollywoodbets Durban July theme through a billboard vandalism stunt.
The recent “vandalisation” of Hollywoodbets’ billboard on Sandton Drive in Johannesburg has 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 a breathtaking artistic statement by the Durban-born artist.
The incident, which occurred during peak hour traffic on Monday 18 March, saw the massive billboard transformed into a vibrant canvas showcasing the theme of this year’s Hollywoodbets Durban July, “Ride the Wave”. The bold 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.
Sound, greetings, emotion, and change, these are the waves of the 2024 Hollywoodbets Durban July. From the music to the thundering hooves, the celebrations with friends old and new, the thrill of racing and the social spectacle all adding to an experience that has evolved over time to create Africa’s greatest horseracing and social event.
Devin Heffer, Hollywoodbets Brand and Communications Manager, said that Hollywoodbets was proud to sponsor their third edition of the event, “We are thrilled to be part of this iconic event that celebrates the incredible sport of horseracing, the sensational fashion and exciting entertainment on offer. This year’s theme, “Ride the Wave” perfectly encapsulates the theme of the Hollywoodbets Durban July, and we look forward to a day filled with unforgettable memories. We invite the public to save the date, Saturday 6 July, as we come together to celebrate this spectacular event.”
