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.

I’m a girl with a sweet tooth, “decadant” should be my middle name .. And “seconds” should be my third, because i can never get enough. Whether it’s milktart, chocolate cake, brownies or custard slices.. I adore sweet treats.. However my absolute favorite is scones with fresh cream and strawberry jam. Nothing makes me feel more fancy, or more like a lady than sipping on a cup of tea and eating scones. There is just something magical about them that takes me back to childhood memories with my mom and granny š āš°š©šŖš®

Victoria Sponge cake!
Ah this takes me back to the wonderful days of my childhood when my granny would serve a thick slice of Victoria sponge cake with a cup of freshly brewed tea. Her tales from afar coupled with the marriage of decadent sponge caressed with luscious cream & strawberry jam was memorable. So yes, high teas were so fashionable back then. Now Oyster Box has perfected the art of high tea & the fact that you have to book months in advance says a lot. I for one would love to take my daughter there so she can savour the delights of tea time bliss!

I am such a sucker for patisserie, from muffins, cakes, scones, croissants to pancakes and waffles, you name it I love it. But the one decadence that my daughter and I cannot ever walk past is a zesty lemon meringue cake. ā”

My husband and I adore anything sweet. Chocolate cake and carrot cake are always vying for top position as we love them both. 2016 has been the most challenging year to date. Hubby lost his job and finances took a plumet. On 17th november hubby celebrated his birthday. No celebrations as money was tight. I am entering this comp with everything crossed so that I can take him to this prestige high tea which we have always wanted to attend. Pick us and we promise to take out many pictures.

Its very hard to chose as I have such a sweet tooth, but I think my absolute favorite is cheese cake. I would really love to win this prize, have always wanted to come to your high tea or breakfast, heard so much about it from friends, but my tight budget has never allowed me too:(. Any way my hubby has promised me for my 50th Birthday next year (3 Dec 2017) he will bring me:) š š

Picking a single sweet treat Ia the most difficult one but nothing beats a cupcake really . A try of gourmet cupcakes like lindt and Ferrero would be rather exciting .
