Cape Town’s Dance music supremos Goldfish and Crazy White Boy will bring the party to Durban on Saturday, 28 February when they play at the Old Mutual Music at The Lake at the Durban Botanic Gardens.

We are giving away FIVE DOUBLE TICKETS to five lucky Durbanites. To enter simply leave a comment below telling us why you love Goldfish. *Std. T&C’s apply.

There will be a sizzling mix of ingredients distinct from other dance capitals such as Ibiza, Porto and Miami – Durban’s balmy weather, the botanic garden’s sub-tropical setting, spicy flavours, world-class electronic music and a beautiful fun loving crowd.

Goldfish is an electronica and dance group comprising Dominic Peters and David Poole. They are proudly South African and create dance music containing elements of jazz and African music, combining live instruments like double bass, saxophones, flute, and vocals with samplers, effects and synthesizers.

They play in the world’s top party cities from Chicago and San Francisco, to Buenos Aires, London and Rome – where they present their Outdoor Experience Concept. It is only natural that they also bring it to Durban.

“When the New York Times placed Durban seventh in the 52 places to go to in 2015, we felt vindicated that Durban is one of the best destinations, and that the Old Mutual Music at the Lake series adds to the city’s overall ‘cool’ quotient,” said Bandile Mngoma, Old Mutual sponsorship manager.

Also coming to play is Crazy White Boy, a duo made up of Ryan Murgatroyd and Konstantinos Karatamoglou, both experienced and successful DJs and producers in their own rights.

Together they have worked their way up from bedroom producers into a powerful, leading presence in the South African music market as well as the rest of the world. Compelled to try and add a fresh twist to dance music, they set about writing with an African kwaito style to deliver a sound that stands out and more importantly challenges the local and international ear. They call it “Ghetto Tech”.

“So as we celebrate some great South African elements and Durban’s growing international stature it is apt to dance. The Durban Botanic Gardens are a world-class treasure worthy of a visit and our combined continued care.

The final ingredient is you, your friends and loved ones with your choice of picnic basket in tow. Luscious cocktails, fresh fruit and flavourful tapas are an idea – it’s up to you to make it good,” concludes Mngoma.

Tickets are available online at www.webtickets.co.za

Ticket prices: Pre-sold tickets are R140 and R160 on the day

Children aged 8-12 pay R60; kids under 8 are free. All children are welcome at the KidZone for extra fun and games

Drinks, cooler boxes and picnic baskets are welcome. A variety of food and refreshments will also be on sale

Gates open at 16:30 for pre-sold tickets and at 17:00 for on-the-day ticket sales. Show starts at 19:00

Secure parking is available on the Juventus ground. Entrance to all parking is off lower John Zikhale (Sydenham) Road, adjacent to the Botanic Gardens and the Munies Hockey Field also off lower John Zikhale (Sydenham) Road.

Win Tickets to Milky Chance in Durban!

mrjoelmagic

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.
