The My Coke Fest 2007, a festival of music with legendary musicians, was a roaring success. Thousands of screaming fans filled the stadiums to hear bands such as The Parlotones, Staind, Taxi Violence, The Springbok Nude Girls, Evolver, 3 Doors Down and Hoobastank. This year, the line-up for the My Coke Fest 2008 is just as impressive as the previous year and fans are already securing their tickets to ensure that they do not miss out on seeing their favorite bands and artists.
Out and About
Though perhaps not many people outside of South African’s realise it, a large number of South African musicians have already been making it big on the music scene in Europe and the United States. We are not referring to musicians who are obviously South African – such as Mango Groove, the Soweto String Quartet and Johnny Clegg who have all created their own small niche in global markets – we are talking about bands who have hit the international music scene in such a big way that they’ve climbed the charts, turned heads and even dominated the music scene for a while.
