Africa's first mega music festival launched

RockStar4000 recently launched the TribeOne: Dinokeng Festival in partnership with Sony Music Entertainment Africa and the City of Tshwane, in the historic mining town of Cullinan. The three-day music festival will be the first of its kind on the African continent and will be the continent's debut on the global music-festival circuit, boasting a unique multi-day, multi-stage musical extravaganza yet to be experienced on African soil.

The inaugural TribeOne: Dinokeng Music Festival will take place on 26, 27 and 28 September 2014 (during Heritage Month and weekend) and will be the centrepiece of the multiple celebrations and initiatives that the City of Tshwane has set in motion to celebrate South Africa's heritage. As the festival's inaugural year in 2014 coincides with South Africa's 20 years of democracy, the City of Tshwane will also use this world-class music festival as the platform to celebrate this milestone in South Africa.
