This “soon-to-be iconic music event” will feature a stellar line-up of popular local and emerging artists, including Jimmy Nevis, Chad Saaiman, Craig Lucas, Jarrad Ricketts, Alistair Izobell, Nur Abrahams, Robin Pieters, Paxton Fielies, Garth Taylor, Loukmaan Adams, Acoustic Element, Carl Webber, Mel Jones, Sasha-Lee Davids, Kurt Langeveldt and The Pedestrians.
The event will also see legendary musician and producer David Kramer perform alongside all these top SA artists on the day, while Lang Arm Bands, Malay Choirs and a Marimba Band are set to also keep audiences on their feet throughout the event. It will also host a number of markets and vendors including Halaal food trucks, local traders, a coffee bar, mobile data giveaways as well as event and artist merchandise sales.
Unity On The Square, a brainchild of renowned musician and entertainer Loukmaan Adams, is powered by the City of Cape Town and The Western Cape Government. Adams promises the musical festival environment to be “a welcoming and safe environment for families”.
The well-known South African singer, actor and entertainer says Unity On The Square is the first event under his new company, Loukmaan Adams Productions Ltd, which was formed earlier this year during the pandemic due to the minimal events and gigs being made available to musicians.
“As Covid-19 has divided us all, all artists are looking forward to being united on stage after two years of enduring the life-changing pandemic. We are all excited to sing our hearts out and provide spectacular entertainment to all music lovers in The Mother City”, he says.
Loukmaan says the festival is the first of many planned events and productions he hopes to bring to life in the future. “My aim is to achieve many goals within a production space, Unity on the Square being one of them, and to eventually have artists from an international calibre joining forces with Cape Town artists and sharing one united stage every year on 16 December,” Adams concludes.
Tickets for the Unity on the Square event are available for purchase via the Quicket ticketing platform.
