Hi and welcome to my blog! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting and do come back.
This is it:
UB40, Joss Stone, Angelique Kidjo, Baaba Maal, Danny K, The Parlotones, The Soweto Gospel Choir, Vusi Mahlasela, and Zola.
What is that? Every other venue just about gets the biggest baddest bands in the world but we get South African Acts (WHICH ROCK MY WORLD) that I can see any time, any where in SA. I love the local bands, they are lekker, but lets be honest, Live Earth is meant to be raising awareness by recruiting the world leaders in music… AHEM.
Some of the artists we wont see:
Jack Johnson
Snoop Dog
Katie Melua
Dave Matthews Band
Red Hot Chilis
Foo Fighters
David Grey
Akon
Paolo Nutini
John Mayer
Madonna
Block Party
GENESIS
Black Eyed Peas
Beastie Boys
Keane
AND MANY MANY MORE.
Why do the international organisers of this sort of event always screw SA. It happened at the Live 8 concert too. We were an afterthought and a concert was thrown together.
I will probably not be attending the conert. No thanks, I don’t like being second fiddle.













Yeah, there are literally hundreds of top-rated international acts on the bill for Live Earth, and we get, well, has-beens and also-rans, which is actually an insult to our local acts.
Very disappointed.
Well said. Are our local artists not good enough to play with the likes of the Foos or U2?? I think not. Show us some damn respect.
