Olmeca Tequila presents Mad Decent Block Party

Full Lineup Featuring Major Lazer, Dillon Francis and Flosstradamus

Partygoers in Jozi and Cape Town are less than a month away from dancing under an urban sunset in their city streets with Olmeca Tequila to world-renowned US DJ acts Major Lazer, Dillon Francis and Flosstradamus.

This is the first time an official Mad Decent Block Party has left North American shores – and we’re going large! Expect nothing less than a fully-fledged live show from Major Lazer including Diplo’s iconic hamster ball, professional dancing, twerking, sprinklers, mascots, ridiculous amounts of energy and some wild surprises.

Supported in both Jo’burg and Cape Town by American Moombathon artist Paul Devro and local heavyweights Das Kapital and Sibot & Toyota, these events are set to be nothing short of uninhibited, street-style fun with a South African flavour.

In Jozi on Saturday 8 February 2014 Liver will get the crowd warmed up and the king of drum and bass, Niskerone, will play the closing set following Major Lazer. On Sunday 9 February 2014, Cape Town will experience the beats of kwaito duo Ruffest as well as bass and hip-hop DJ White Nite. In the spirit of a traditional urban block party there will be food trucks serving everything from boerie rolls to shisi nyama.

Joburg’s event will be held in the heart of the city at Mary Fitgerald Square and Cape Town’s event will be hosted at the Dias Parking Lot at the Foreshore next to the Nelson Mandela Boulevard highway fly-over. This is probably the first and last time this unconventional venue will be used because, soon after the Olmeca Mad Decent Block Party, the space is scheduled to become a building site.

Each Mad Decent Block Party features four local DJs and four international acts – a packed show for only R275 a ticket, available through Webtickets

LAMB OF GOD LIVE IN SOUTH AFRICA JANUARY 2014

 

Heavy Metal supporters in South Africa have held their breath since early in 2012 when rumours first emerged that a local appearance by USA metal titans Lamb of Godwas imminent. 

Hopes were dashed later that year when the remainder of the bands tour was cancelled in mid-2012 and activity curbed to within United States borders up until June this year. In fulfilling an old promise,  Lamb of God are finally on the road and catching up on a major back log of shows across the globe. 

The great news for South Africa is that two dates have been squeezed into the bands cram-packed touring schedule for early 2014.
 

"With only two dates available, we'll be touring them to Cape Town and Johannesburg," said Dawid Fourie of RAM Touring, "and we're expecting that by playing those two cities, the maximum number of fans will get an opportunity to begin planning early for a trip to one of the larger centres."

Lamb of God, from the State of Virginia in the USA, were formed in 1990 with current members John Campbell on bass, Mark Morton on Guitar, and the legendary Chris Adler on Drums. 

Vocalist Randy Blythe joined in 1995 and drummer Chris's brother Willie Adler replaced Abe Spear on guitar in 1999, resulting in the current line-up which spans more than a decade; and introducing the electrifying chemistry which has launched a successful career for the band we see today.

Lamb of God will melt faces on Friday 24 January in Cape Town, and Saturday 25 January in Johannesburg. 

Tickets via www.computicket.co.za, or from any Computicket outlet nationwide.  General standing is available at R450 and for Golden Circle, only R550.

Cape Town Venue:

The Hillcrest Quarry outside Durbanville is a mere 30 minute drive from Cape Town CBD (traffic depending) and can be found on the M13 (Tygervalley Road) which bridges the Tygervalley Hills between Durbanville and Parklands (Table View).  Safe and secure parking will be available +/- 0.9km from the grounds, where attendees will be required to park & walk. 

A shuttle service will be available at R5 per single trip for any special-needs patrons or for those who just don't feel like walking.

Johannesburg Venue:

The Johannesburg Expo Centre, Nasrec (Hall 8) is situated just to the South-West of the city CBD on the Corner of Rand Show and Nasrec Roads, directly adjacent to the iconic "Soccer City" National Stadium. 

The best approaches from the directions ofPretoria, Sandton, OR Tambo Airtport, and Bloemfontein are all well detailed on the venues website here: 

http://www.expocentrejhb.co.za/map-a-directions-to-expo-centre

Facilities at both venues include: Well-stocked bars (no alcohol served to u18s), Food Stalls, Security, Medics & kick ass production.

Regretfully, no under 16's will be allowed, and under 18's will only be admissible if accompanied by adult (21+) supervision and their ID documents.

Be in Cape Town to bid farewell to 2013 at Africa’s biggest, boldest, most thrilling free New Year party yet.

The countdown has begun, and as cities across the world prepare to showcase their regions with spectacular scenes of celebration, the V&A Waterfront will be more than ready to represent Cape Town and the African continent.

Get ready for the mother of all Mother City parties this New Year, when Cape Town's most popular destination, takes residents and visitors alike through to 2014 in a free, riotous explosion of color and festive celebration.

Although the official celebrations kick off at 18h00, the entire day will be filled with colorful activities as buskers interact with visitors throughout the property.

Prime Circle, Freshlyground, GoodLuck and comedians Rob van Vuuren and Martin Evans head a line up at the Waterfront’s popular New Year’s Eve celebrations, which also include street performances by Zip Zap Circus performers, 3D projections and spectacular light simulations as well as two fireworks displays. 

From early evening, the Waterfront will be abuzz with non-stop free activities such as street performances by Zip Zap Circus performers who will astound and delight the crowds with their agility, as well as performances from live bands.


A custom built stage on Jetty 1 will host a number of performers. Through the use of 3D projection mapping technology and light simulation, the stage will become a form of entertainment in itself.

For those who prefer to be seated, the action on stage can also be viewed from different restaurants such as Harbour House, Quay Four, Alba Lounge and the Hildebrand.


The crowd can expect a heady experience of sight and sound as the MC leads them through to 2014. First on stage at 18h00 and injecting a light note to the evening, will be the comedian duo Rob van Vuuren and Martin Evans from Pants on Fire.


Next up at 18h30, is the band Early Hours, the winners of the V&A Waterfront’s Take the Stage talent contest will be first to perform, when they will show the audience exactly why they won the contest.

At 19h15, the dynamic and critically acclaimed urban-afro-pop group The Rudimentals will perform, they will hand over the stage to the ever popular South African band Freshly Ground at 20h40. At 21h00, the audience will get a taste of what’s in store for them at midnight with a ten-minute fireworks display.

Another highlight of the evening will be a live performance from 22h25 by premier local rock-pop band Prime Circle who will take the festivities through to the midnight countdown.

The V&A Waterfront has long provided arguably the best New Year celebration South Africa has to offer, and is undoubtedly the prettiest. 

For 2014 they plan to raise the bar even higher.




While revellers will be framed by a star-lit African sky, an illuminated Table Mountain and the glittering city lights, at the stroke of midnight fireworks will erupt in a riot of colour, lighting up the Bay.

Cape Town music sensation, GoodLuck will then ensure that 2014 gets off to a cool start, taking the party through to 02h00.


Party-goers and spectators are advised to get to the V&A Waterfront as early as possible on New Year’s eve to avoid traffic congestion.

Getting to the V&A Waterfront has never been easier. The City is coming to the party by extending the MyCiti bus service to and from the V& A Waterfront until 01h00. 

And for those revelers who would prefer to welcome in the dawn, the first bus of 2014 will run from 06h05am
 

Confirmed Line-up: 

18h00 - Pants on Fire (comedy show)
18h30 - Early Hours – Winners of 2013 Take The Stage

International food & music festival to rock with 12 of the best South African acts on stage

Organisers of the hit international food and music festival, Delicious have pulled out all the stops to provide a star studded 2 day musical line-up featuring 5 celebrity chefs and 8 marquees headed by Grammy award winning super group Jamiroquai.

Supporting Jamiroquai will be a host of leading South African artists namely; LIRA, Prime Circle, Khuli Chana, Mi Casa, Danny K, Household Funk and BlackByrd; they have now been joined by Kabomo, Dj QB Smith, Dj Kenzero, Sai & Ribatone and Maleh at the lounge of the festival’s official beer sponsor, Castle Milk Stout.

Presented by DStv in association with Checkers, Ocean Basket, Castle Milk Stout; and Sowetan; Delicious has been described as the music festival for food lovers or a food festival for music lovers. The first of its kind, Delicious is set to take the South African entertainment and culinary world by storm in Johannesburg from 5 – 6 October 2013 at the Blue Hills Equestrian Estate.

At various times throughout the festival, top SA artists will be performing unplugged sets in the Castle Milk Stout space, allowing guests to soak up their smooth sounds, up-close-and–personal, while savouring a glass of the rich, full-flavoured Castle Milk Stout. Visitors may even be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of an interview with one of the festival musicians or international chefs discussing their craft in the official media area at the Castle Milk Stout lounge.

Fresh from a mind-blowing performance at the Rock N Coke Festival in Istanbul, Jamiroquai arrive in South Africa having sold more than 40 million albums worldwide and a Grammy Award in 1998.

Jamiroquai are a band on fire - led by Jay Kay, one of the most charismatic frontmen Britain has ever produced, with a shelf-full of awards, including five MTV gongs to name a few. The band is currently recording their eighth studio album and promise to treat fans at Delicious to some of their newer, unreleased material.

LIRA has graced the covers of numerous fashion & lifestyle magazines & won a multitude of accolades from The South African Music Awards (10), MTV Africa Awards, Channel O Awards, Metro FM & MOJO Awards as well as Glamour Magazine South Africa's 2008 "Woman of the Year." LIRA is the first African artist to release a full HD DVD in Blu Ray (3x Platinum) and is the highest selling vocalist in South Africa.

Since they first burst out of Witbank some 11 years ago, Prime Circle’s career has been an inspiration that has spawned hundreds of garage bands across South Africa, with starry-eyed young rockers hoping that one day, they might make it big the way Ross Learmonth, Dirk Bisschoff, Marco Gomes, Neil Breytenbach and Dale Schnettler have. Prime Circle are undoubtedly rock superstars and have recently returned from an extensive European Tour where they shared the stage with 3 Doors Down.

Having recently released another trailblazing album, crowd favourites Mi Casa are a band with unique individuals, who bring their explosive talent together to create a unique and original sound. With a string of awards, the trio’s chemistry continues to blow crowds away with each performance, from one side of the globe to the other.

Hip Hop king Khuli Chana is a talented musician who practices the skill of rhyming in vernacular rap. He brings a different flavour and sound, not only to this type of music but also to the Hip-Hop scene; this has seen him walk away with three SAMA’s, Channel O Music Video Awards, Hype Music Awards and a South African Traditional Music Award (SATMA).

Singer, songwriter and actor Danny K needs little introduction. The four time SAMA winner has also picked up a string of fashion accolades for his impeccable dress sense.  He has two consecutive Kids Choice Awards, two consecutive People's Choice Awards, You magazine Award for Best SA Musician; and The South African STYLE Award.

Formed six years ago, HouseHold Funk (HHF) enjoys working with different artists and keeping their sets fresh. You can expect to hear the latest sounds /music from HHF, as well as their own original material which they continue to work on and push out every year.  They continue to entertain as a group on their own stage and alongside various international DJs/Artists locally and abroad.

Having spent the past three years earning their stripes and honing their skills, the dynamic young trio that is BlackByrd emphatically announced their arrival on the big stage with a stunning debut album which earned them 4 SAMA nominations in 2013.

‘Its Personal’, the brand that provides artists with a respectable platform to showcase their “sound” will host a deep house tent for the rhythmic and soulful attendees that would like to get their groove on at the festival.

Their line up for Saturday 5th October features Ricky H, Kyle Watson, Pimpsquad and JustSmart.  Sunday 6th October sees Brad S, Ryan Dent, Craig Massiv and JustSmart pump the beats from the decks.

Just to whet your appetite before the festival tune into Channel O, channel 320 to catch some of your local artist’s original African videos.

About Jamiroquai

Jamiroquai are a British acid jazz band formed in 1992. Fronted by lead singer Jay Kay, Jamiroquai have sold more than 40 million albums worldwide and won a Grammy Award in 1998. The line-up of the band has changed several times, and the longest serving and now core members of the band are lead singer and songwriter Jason "Jay" Kay and drummer Derrick McKenzie (since 1994). 

Kay was the impetus behind the formation of Jamiroquai, deciding to form the band after an unsuccessful audition to become the singer of the Brand New Heavies. Although he has said that he has attempted to have Jamiroquai treated as a band, Kay has always been at the forefront.

International chefs release their mouth-watering menus

It’s every foodie’s dream to have a chef from a trendy European restaurant whip up a culinary masterpiece just for them and be able to browse through an eclectic artisan food market – which is exactly what awaits visitors to South Africa’s first Delicious Festival, taking place at the Blue Hills Equestrian Estate in Kyalami on 5 and 6 October 2013.

While celebrating South Africa’s finest culinary offerings, the event also features a strong cosmopolitan flavour: UK celebrity chefsAldo Zilli, Ed Baines and Michelin-starred John Burton Race will offer Gauteng food aficionados the chance to savour their exclusive signature dishes at pop-up restaurants, paired with South African wines and French champagne. (see notes to Editor for full menus)

Baines is the chef and co-owner of Randall & Aubin, the most happening champagne and oyster bar in London’s Soho district. The mouth-watering mains he will be preparing include rotolo of wild mushrooms filled with ricotta cheese, spinach, tomato and parmesan, as well as roasted shell-on crayfish with garlic cream, pommes pont neuf, wilted greens and a béarnaise sauce.

Zilli is chef consilere at San Carlo Cicchetti Restaurant, an upmarket Italian restaurant in Manchester and London’s Piccadilly. A familiar face on our television screens, he specialises in Italian, vegetarian and seafood cuisine.

The chefs’ varied menus will be complemented by local wines such as Meerlust, Glen Carlou, Rustenburg, Haute Cabriere, Altydgedacht, Hartenberg, Kleine Zalze and La Motte, as well as Champagne Charles de Cazacnove.

Festival-goers can also shop for scrumptious goodies at the artisan food market,which boasts over 70 stalls.

This eclectic market will take visitors on a culinary adventure from Asia to Europe, from Africa to the Americas, with organic food a starring feature on the menu. Be amazed by the artistry of a classically-trained French pastry chef, enjoy high-quality Israeli and Greek street food, indulge in Belgian chocolates, sample healthy chickpea fudge and spice up your day with Mexican tacos and Mozambican peri-peri prawns.

Coco Reinharz, who was once a guest judge on MasterChef SA 2012 will man a cooking station flanked by screens projecting the audience’s real-time SMS suggestions on what ingredients to use and how to cook them, in order to bring a recipe to life.

The festival’s official beer partner, Castle Milk Stout, will be creating rich moments to be savoured, offering festival-goers the opportunity to be hosted by a chef who will guide them through a three-course beer and food pairing experience. The wonderfully complex flavours in the stout make it the perfect drink to unlock a wealth of flavours in various foods.

Sushi will be presented in Ocean Basket’s first ever “sushi pop-up bar”. Festival-goers can watch Anevski and Moima at work while delighting in one of South Africa’s favourite foods. Perfect for picnic hampers or as an afternoon snack, the sushi fare is sure to be a festival favourite.

Lovers of out-of-this-world gastronomic experiences are urged to come and enjoy the ‘feastivities’ at one of the three international pop-up restaurants overlooking the grounds – Zilli’s San Carlo Cicchetti, Baines’ Randall & Aubin or Race’s The John Burton Race Experience – to be transported on a multiple-course odyssey through exquisite flavours, textures and combinations.

All the ingredients are sourced from Checkers, including their restaurant-quality extra-matured Steakhouse Classic Steaks, a wide range of award-winning cheeses and wines from the Checkers Wine Route.

That's why they make sure their Cheese World is always fully stocked with a wide range of award-winning international and local cheeses to choose from. They will be offering visitors the opportunity to taste and buy some of the delicious fine cheeses they have selected for the festival.
