International artists heart SA
We're all about the international artist love this week; the
I Heart Joburg Music Festival announces its final international artists; T- Pain and Panic At The Disco, while those Capetonians who were fearing Oppi-fomo can catch UK and AUS acts,
Editors and Wolfmother on home ground in August! And this weekend sees Timbaland and other world class acts perform at the SuperSport Park in Centurion as part of the
Extra Cold Music Concert.
In food and wine news, I review the
Twelve Apostle's monthly and decadent food and wine pairings, and Eugene Yiga reports back on the
Fine Brandy Fusion event currently on at the Sandton Convention Centre.
We will be picking our lucky
Capital Craft Beer Festival winners this Monday, so better enter if you haven't already!
