GrandWest welcomes five memorable South African artists to the Grand Arena for a rare collaboration concert Rocking the City on 29 July 2017. Taking music fans on a nostalgic journey of authentic South African music from the 1980s to now are MarcAlex, The Boyz, Dawnay, Essential and Da Ballies. They will be supported by Cape Town musicians.
“These artists have been on the local music scene for over twenty years and many music fans will remember them from their heydays. It is a special treat to have them bringing to life on our stage some of the songs which made them famous, as well as new material. We look forward to it,” says Elouise Matthys, the PR and Promotions Manager at GrandWest.
