Top news this week is the announcement of Synergy Live's line-up; SA musicians Jack Parow, Van Coke Kartel, Prime Circle and many more will be gracing stages at the new venue, the Theewater Sports Club, from 30 November - 2 December 2012. We have two tickets to give away to two of our lucky readers! In other music news, Johann Smith reviews diverse albums the heartfelt debut by Lucy Kruger, and the long-awaited debut by dirty rockers The Great Apes.

In theatre news, Daniel Dercksen recommends multiple viewings of the mind-bending I Am Hamlet, while Eugene Yiga previews the improvised soap opera marathon, Soap-a-thon.

Beer continues to flow this month as Jordan Scott learns a few things at Cape Town Beer Fest's College of Beer. Check a few pics from the event.

Other competitions this week include two tickets to the #5GumExperience in Joburg or Cape Town, the chance to win a bottle of Lady Gaga's perfume, Fame, and two tickets to The Plastics Pyramid album launch.

Enjoy the week further!
