THE curse of Nelson Mandela Bay’s failed music concerts of recent years finally seems to have lifted as tickets for today’s International Music Festival were nearly sold out at the time of going to press yesterday.
About 27000 of the 30000 available tickets were sold and today’s programme, which kicks off at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in North End from 2pm (with performances starting from 2.30pm), looks set for success.
A major draw card for the event, which started yesterday (Friday), has seen world-class performers – among them US guitarist and singer George Benson and South African jazz icon Hugh Masekela – lined up by Organisers espAfrika.
For details of today’s programme, including Masekela and Benson’s performance and appearances by the likes of Prime Circle, Goldfish, Freshlyground and Jamali, get your copy of Weekend Post today. Tickets are at Computicket.
