Milky Chance recently announced their long-awaited return to South Africa with their “Living In A Haze” 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 “Life Without Fantasies” 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 SA’s 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 ‘Lift You Up’ the standout single from his collection (including the Double MZK & G DOM remix) to the dreamier songs like ‘Feel the Energy’ that carry deeper messages of connection to the natural world and the people that surround us. There is something for everyone in Sean’s catalogue.

I love that my mom knows everything about me, she is my best friend and my rock and although she doesnt know it, she is very influential in my life. She knows when I am sad and even though I can deny it ’til I am blue in the face, she knows when something is wrong. She gets sympathy pains for me when I am injured and we are always connected. I love everything about my mom even when I dont like her. She is the best.

Mothers day is always a tough time for me as my mom passed away a few years ago. If i won these tickets, I would take my boyfriend’s mom as she has always had time for a chat, make dinner together. laugh and joke around and gives me advice when i need it most. this would be an amazing opportunity to show her how much she means to me.

I would like to win this for my dear friend Najmah, who has been an amazing mother to an adopted child who was diagnosed with ADHD back in 2012. Her dedication and commitment to help him with his behavioural and psychological issues day after day since then has been an inspiration to all of those around her. Because her work has taken the backseat she is now facing financial troubles, I hope this will make her day even more special.

gosh, my mom, we fought so much while i was growing up, and now that i am a mom, i realised im so much like her, which now makes me appreciate her even more than i ever did, there are times that im scolding my daughter and a little voice in my head says, u sound jus like ur mom, lol, and i smile. she lost her mom the year my daughter was born, and its been hard for her to know fall into the head of the family role, but she does a fantastic job, i would like to win this and would give her to go with her sister, as my aunt has also been like a second mom to me. they actually have been friends and moms to me.

My Mother is the soul of my life and a true inspiration. Not being my maternal Mum, she never once hesitated to make me feel loved, cared for and truly special.
Mum, you still rock my world. Thank you for everything!
