We’re so pleased that there’s a party in Melville this coming weekend – you know it’s our favourite suburb. If you love ROCK music make sure to be there ‘coz it’s taking over the avenues. It’s simple, just go to Melville on Saturday night, be there by 9 and bring 60 bucks for your ticket. Thanks to Arts Alive for supporting ROCK.

Saturday 3rd September. 5 venues, 12 bands, 1 ticket, 1 …

What makes Jozi Rock?

Is it the bustling musical rhythm of the city, or the metropolitan mix of people, who connect through their similarity and diversity?

Melville encapsulates this cosmopolitan feeling. This Joburg Arts Alive initiative, offers the perfect environment to showcase both established and emerging rock bands.

Jozi Rocks transforms Melville into a musical extravaganza, with the Roxy Rhythm Bar, Trancesky, Tokyo Star and Samba, hosting different styles of the rock genre.

“Unplugged on 7th” will be the VIP area where muso’s, press and other celebrities can hang out with the bands and catch their breath between performances.

The evening is set to be a fusion of some of the best established names in rock, with the best of the underground and emerging stars on the Joburg circuit.

For just R60.00, punters will be able to see Prime Circle, Arno Carstens, The Parlotones, MXO, Fuzigish, Fly Paper Jet, Peep Show, The New Academics, Airship Orange, Greenhouseffect, The Diesel Whores and Martin Rocka and The Sick Shop.

The first band will start at 9 o’ clock and the start times in the different venues will be staggered to allow guests to move from one venue to the next to catch their favourite acts. Tickets will include a full line-up of band times and venues, so that guests know what’s happening and where.

The Line-up:

Samba
Diesel Whores
Martin Rocka and the Sick Shop
Fuzigish
