Here’s the line-up for the coming season of Kirstenbosch concerts. There’s something for everyone in there. I’m looking forward to Prime Circle (23rd Dec), and Johnny Clegg (7th Apr) in particular but there must be another 5 at least that I’m very keen to see. I saw Natasha Meister (31st Mar) for the first time on a recent visit to Durban and was impressed, so she’s on my list.
The season starts with a bang at the end of this month with an international artist, Daniel Bedingfield. Following that will be a trip down memory lane with Mango Groove, that should be fun. Get up and dance!

Each e-ticket has a unique bar-code on the top right of each ticket. This is used to identify the ticket and ensure only valid tickets are granted access into the event. It is important that the bar-code has been clearly printed on the ticket as this will prevent any delays when entering the event. Print your ticket(s) and bring to the event where the ticket(s) will be scanned.
Redeem your e-ticket(s) at the Kirstenbosch Ticket Office from the Tuesday before, or on the concert day.
