On 30 August the Old Mutual Music in the Gardens series
makes history, when both the Pretoria National Botanical Garden and the Walter
Sisulu National Garden will host performances by iconic South Africa
artists. The Parlotones will play in
Pretoria from 13:00, while Johnny Clegg will play at Walter Sisulu from 17:00.
Old Mutual, Jacaranda FM, SANBI and Hilltop Live have lined up the cream of the
crop to perform at the 2015 Old Mutual Music in the Gardens series, and who
better to kick off the second half of the series than one of the most
successful bands ever to come out of South Africa - The Parlotones. The
Parlotones - Kahn Morbee, Neil Pauw and brothers’ Glen and Paul Hodgson -
formed over 10 years ago and have achieved massive success in South Africa, as
well as the UK, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and North America. The winners of
two SAMA awards for Best Rock Album have also toured South America, Canada,
Australia, Japan and Russia. Legends they have toured with include Coldplay,
Starsailor, Snow Patrol and Blue October. The Parlotones released their new
album in April this year. Antiques and
Artefacts features the singles ‘Dance’ and ‘You Need to Stay A While’ and fans
of the band can expect these along with firm favourites ‘Push Me To The Floor’,
‘Giant Mistake’, ‘Colourful’ and more. The Parlotones will be joined by
Johannesburg singer/songwriter Trevor Rebello. Tickets are available before
concert day via www.plankton.mobi for R50 per adult, and at the entrance on the
day for R100 per adult. Children under 12 enter for free.
