Jozi Summer Shine Festival launches in December
The inaugural Jozi Summer Shine Festival will take place on Sunday, 13 December, 2015, at Marks Park, Joburg and will bring the finest in top-end whiskey and wine, street-food vendors, three international and four local musical acts, and two stages.
First on the Jozi Summer Shine list of announcements is international R&B legend Musiq Soulchild. This multi-award-winning performer has had two Platinum albums, two Gold albums, has received awards from top industry establishments, such as Billboard and BET, and has earned nominations from MTV and 11 Grammy nominations.
Another international act to grace the stage for the day is the dance music industry's Louie Vega. With a career in house music ranging over 25 years, Vega brings his Latin house influences to South African fans.
Next on the bill is Tortured Soul, whose sound has been classified as electronica, jazz fusion, New York house, and classic disco. No stranger to South African shores, these guys have played some of the world's best music festivals.
Local flavour
To add the local flavour, there's South African a capella group The Soil, Durban-boy Majozi and funky neo-soul rising star Tresor, who will be bringing their zest to the day's activities. Keep your eyes open for the fourth local act to be announced at a later date.
Jozi Summer Shine is not only about the music. The festival offers the opportunity to experience quality food by high-end food crafters; micro distilleries and well-known wine estates will be on display to taste and purchase, as well as some of the industry's top end whiskeys.
Tickets from Computicket starting at R495.
