Jozi Summer Shine Festival launches
The first Jozi Summer Shine Festival is to take place on Sunday, 13 December, 2015, at Marks Park, Emmarentia, Joburg. The event promises the finest in top-end whiskey and wine, street-food vendors, three international and five local musical acts, and two stages.
First on the list of artist announcements is international R&B legend Musiq Soulchild. The 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 is the perfect fit for this festival line-up - bringing 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.
Local flavour
To add local flavour to the festival, there is South Africa's most beautiful songstress, Lira, Afro-Soul king Nathi, local favourite 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 fans the opportunity to experience quality food by high-end food crafters - making food for the love of it with a personal touch; 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 to Jozi Summer Shine are available from Computicket. Prices start at R495.
