The RedBull Studio Live Stage will present: MIZI, Das Kapital, David & Goliath, Half & Half, Musical Chairs vs Nubuck, PH Fat and Rude One, with the Mainstay Beach Bar gracing BDMI, Behr, lucky Ntuli, Marcela, Reezo and many more.

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus play melodic hard rock that makes room for punk and power-pop influences. Front man Ronnie Winter's emotional vocals get the band classified as emo by some, but their brand of earnest, angsty rock is more closely aligned to that of groups like Hoobastank or Linkin Park. RJA formed in 2003 near Jacksonville, Florida went through several incarnations before finalising their line-up: singer Ronnie Winter, guitarists Elias Reidy and Duke Kitchens, bassist Joey Westwood and drummer Jon Wilkes. RJA will be bringing you the best offerings from all four of their albums.
