This year, the stars of the stage are hitting SA. With the live offerings looking this good already, we strongly suggest you diarise these don’t-miss dates!
The Boss
Block out all the cries of “middle aged dad rock”, because no one does a rock show better than music veteran Bruce Springsteen (and the E Street Band).
The Boss will perform in
SA for the first time after
30 years of touring the world. White tees and blue jeans at the ready.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Jan 26 to 29 in Cape Town, Feb 1 in Joburg. Bigconcerts.co.za; Computicket.co.za
More Is More
With five international headliners (including beloved indie rockers Foals, Biffy Clyro, Trivium and Austria’s Camo & Krooked), Ramfest 2014 promises to be the biggest music festival we’ve seen yet. Dear Oppikoppi and Rocking The Daisies, the bar has now been raised.

The Real Slim Shady
It may have been a while since we last heard from Marshall Mathers, but, with a brand new album to promote, the rapper will soon be making his way to Cape Town and Johannesburg. Don’t miss out.
Eminem Rapture 2014, Feb 26 in
Cape Town, March 1 in Joburg. Computicket.co.za
Mars Attacks!
While we still not-so-secretly pine for a
Jordan Catalano-era Jared Leto, the prospect of him and his grunge rock band Thirty Seconds To Mars covering Rihanna’s Stay makes this worth the admission.
Thirty Seconds To Mars live in South Africa, June 13 in Cape Town and June 16 in Joburg. Bigconcerts.co.za
Dancing In The Street
In yet another first for SA, Olmeca Tequila and Seed Experiences have joined forces to bring the Mad Decent Block Party to the country. EDM fans will be treated to performances from the likes of Major Lazer, Flosstradamus and Dillon Francis.

It’s Miller Time
After postponing his SA tour last year, hip hop’s critically acclaimed darling, Kendrick Lamar, will headline Miller Boomtown parties across the country.
