DJ Bonobo adds JHB date to SA tour

Multiple-award-winning British DJ Bonobo has added an extra date to his tour of South Africa. In addition to performing at the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden in Cape Town on 8 February 2019, he will also take to stage at Sounds Wild, which will be held at Fox Junction in Johannesburg on 9 February 2019.

Bonobo's rise has been stealthy but unstoppable, and Simon Green, the man behind it all, is now one of the biggest electronic artists of our time. He initially debuted years back with a trip-hop aesthetic, and since ventured into more of an upbeat approach while experimenting with jazz and world music.
