Rise Against and Bring Me The Horizon's performances include Ramfest Cape Town, Joburg and Durban, and Pendulum DJ Set and Verse will be performing in all four cities. There are two different concerts in Durban, so make sure that you know the exact line-up before you purchase your ticket. The internationals, except for Pendulum DJ Set and Verse, will not be performing in PE.
Rise Against is an American punk rock band from Chicago, Illinois. The band`s first two albums: "The Unraveling" (2001) and "Revolutions Per Minute" (2003) met with considerable underground success. Their major label debut "Siren Song Of The Counter Culture" brought the band mainstream success, producing several successful singles. The two albums after that, "The Sufferer And The Witness" and "Appeal To Reason", respectively, debuted at number 10 and number three on the Billboard 200 Chart.
Formed in Sheffield in 2004, Bring Me the Horizon have had many highlights since the launch of their career. They have won three Kerrang Awards - one in 2007 for Best British Newcomer, the second in 2011 for Best Album for "There Is A Hell ... ", and, most recently, the 2012 award for Best British Video for "Alligator Blood". They were officially the biggest band on MySpace UK in 2011, boast over 3.4 million fans on Facebook, as well as over 50 million UK and European views on YouTube for their official videos.
In late 2011 BMTH supported Machine Head in the UK and Europe, including a return to UK arenas. For the first six months of 2012 the band has been in the studio working on their next album, to be released through Sony in 2013.
After the success of their performance at Ramfest 2010, Paul Harding and Ben Verse from Pendulum (Australia and England) will also be returning to perform this year.
