Short week shuffle

Yet another long weekend means more time for festivals and parties, and this particular long weekend doesn't disappoint. The Parklife Festival featuring Modest Mouse touches down in Cape Town and Joburg this Saturday and Sunday, respectively, while Holi One colourfully returns to Joburg this Friday, as does the Dirty Rotten Tequila Festival at Carfax in Newton. And, of course, the ever-epic Afrika Burn is already underway in Tankwa.

In other news, Leigh Andrews interviews Evert van der Veer, Head of Comedy Central Africa about Trevor Noah hosting The Daily Show, as well as Lola Gallant, Brand Manager of Cinema Nouveau/SK about event cinema.

Happy long weekend all!
