Milky Chance recently announced their long-awaited return to South Africa with their āLiving In A Hazeā tour in February 2024 which will see them perform in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban. The German Duo are excited to confirm that both Neon Dreams and Sean Koch will join them as support acts on the line-up for their shows in Cape Town (15 February) and Johannesburg (17 February), and Neon Dreams will also join Milky Chance in Durban (18 February) as support act.
Canadian duo Neon Dreams are no strangers to the South African music scene. Their 2019 single āLife Without Fantasiesā reached the top of the South African viral charts amassing millions of streams in 2021 during the lockdown. The band connected with tens of thousands of fans online which led to their first sold out headline tour. They have continued to cement themselves in the industry here, having toured the country a number of times over the past few years and return in February 2024 to share the stage with Milky Chance in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban.
Sean Koch is one of SAās most-loved indie-folk artists who brings a mixed bag of African and western, influence alongside messages of home, a connection to nature, the ocean and the people around him; to his storytelling, feel-good music. While rooted in his flowing-folk style, his music is diverse. From dance infused songs like āLift You Upā the standout single from his collection (including the Double MZK & G DOM remix) to the dreamier songs like āFeel the Energyā that carry deeper messages of connection to the natural world and the people that surround us. There is something for everyone in Seanās catalogue.

This is my ultimate FAVOURITE south african band! Their Soulful music can set the tone for any occasion and my friends and I often enjoy listening to it around the pool with an awesome braai. I would LOVE to take my boyfriend for a lovely picnic in the park, beautiful setting with a beautiful band!

Because I love Micasa and I would go to the ends of the earth to shout this out if I had to! They make such amazing South African music and make me so proud to call myself a South African local music lover! Home grown talent at it’s best, and I want to be there to enjoy and support their awesome efforts š Please send me, please please! Annnnd as if it cannot get better, my boyfriend and I are celebrating our one month anniversary of being together, and this would be the perfect, most incredible way to celebrate it – electric atmosphere, good company, gorgeous setting and GREAT music!!!
Oh, and I think I should win because I am one of the first five to enter which means that I am glued on your blog, Facebook and Twitter page, making sure I miss nothing from your awesome blog…I am sure that counts for some extra brownie points *wink wink* *nudge nudge* LOL!

I LOVE both Mi Casa and The Muffins and I think I might have had a hand in Mi Casa’s win at the Metro Music Awards earlier this month by voting for them a total of 108 times. I constantly have SuCasa playing in my car and at home and know every song on the CD verbatim. I was thrilled to get my copy of the CD signed by the guys during their launch at Musica Gateway last year and would L.O.V.E to be at their concert at DBG on Sunday. I am also a huge fans fof The Muffinz, but have never seen them live, so that would be quite an experience. This would be the perfect way to end a weekend and I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed to win.

My little sister is thee biggest MiCasa fan and yet she’s never gotten the chance to see them perform. Everytime we plan on attending one of their gigs something always coems up, would be great to win these tickets to spoil her and let her indulge her musical fantasy. Neither of us have ever been to the Old Mutul mucis-in-the-park shows and it would something new, fun and exciting for us to enjoy together.

Need some great local Micasa in my eardrums!…. & to be brutally honest I’ve not heard of the Muffinz, which is a jolly good excuse to want those tickets sooooo badly! ;-))

Couldn’t believe my ears when I hears Mi Casa live at the Miss SA pageant, they sounded exactly the same as when I hear them on the radio, now that’s talent! As well as seeing the awesome pics of the previous music at the botanical gardens on the Durbanite page, I definitely felt like I was missing out!

I love MI Casa!!! I don’t think there is a bigger fan than me. Some of my friends even call me a groupie. Of late, I’ve been to all their shows in Durban – I have quite an extensive photo album of my experiences. I definitely deserve the opportunity to expand on my album and experiences with the love JSomething, Dr Duda and Mo-T. I have both their albums (which I purchased at a proper music store as opposed to downloading), which receives extensive airplay in my house and car, to the point that even my mum knows the words to both their albums.
Simply put, I am a MI Casa superfan.
The added bonus of seeing the Muffinz live is just to exciting for my little heart (but don’t worry, if I’m selected, this little heart will more than manage)
Please, please select me – the worlds biggest DURBAN and MI CASA and LOCAL IS LEKKER fan out there

OH MY WORD!!!!!I grew up in KZN and used to go most monthly Sundays to the Botanical Gardens to the “Sunset Prom’s / Music at the Lake” with my parents…it was an absolute treat and highlight to the month….having just recently moved back to KZN (lived in jhb for 10 years), i would love now to go, but this time with my new little family and invite my parents!!!!! (very blessed to have them with us) we absolutely LOVE Mi Casa and The Muffinz as a family, and to return back and share this experience with my loved ones will be the absolute treat, once again….xxx
