Three Decades of Production Magic Across Africa
From a passion for world-class African productions, Mushroom Productions has grown into the continent’s leading event powerhouse over three decades.
OUR JOURNEY
It all began with a passion for creating extraordinary experiences and a belief that African audiences deserve world-class productions. Over three decades later, Mushroom Productions has grown from a small team with big dreams to the production powerhouse behind some of the continent’s most memorable events.
Our journey has taken us from local stages to massive stadiums, from intimate corporate functions to the spectacle of Monster Jam crushing cars before thousands of cheering South African fans. We’ve expanded our footprint across Africa, successfully executing major productions in South Africa, Nigeria, Senegal, Egypt, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Kenya, and Morocco – building expertise and relationships in each market along the way.
We’ve been fortunate to work with the biggest names in entertainment through our long-standing relationship with Big Concerts, producing shows for music legends like U2, Lady Gaga, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Coldplay, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Guns n’ Roses and Katy Perry.
We’ve also produced the superstars of WWE and the daredevils of Nitro Circus to African audiences.We’ve helped bring the Basketball Africa League to life across multiple countries, creating a consistent, world-class experience for fans while navigating the unique challenges of different markets.
Each production has added to our knowledge, expanded our capabilities, and fueled our passion for creating unforgettable moments. Our specialized understanding of security requirements across Africa has made us the trusted partner for high-profile international events requiring elite VIP protection and comprehensive risk management.
Today, we’re proud to be the production company that major international tours trust when they come to Africa, that global brands rely on for their most important launches, and that audiences never see – but always remember through the experiences we create.
