ABOUT THE LOCAL LINE-UP
CrashCarBurn is an indie punk pop foursome has brought us some takkie-squeaking thumpers like The Light, Serenade, Twisted and more recently Keep Walking with Kwesta.
iFani will certainly bring a comical musicality to the local line-up. The Eastern Cape native is known for his tongue-in-cheek lyrics and dance moves. He doesn’t take himself all too seriously and is keen to take on Jason Derulo in an on-stage dance-off!
No stranger to the South African indie-pop/rock scene, the Graeme Watkins Project is the third outfit to be announced. Graeme has proven that being a TV reality show talent extends beyond that stage. Now, on their second album, tracks like Music Affair, Blood Shot Eyes and Fly Away have solidified their stamp in the music industry.
Kwesta snatched up the fouth spot on the line-up. Kwesta, aka Mr Kool, burst onto the music scene with the track Stomp followed by the crossover track Flava. He is stoked to be part of the line-up with rockers CrashCarBurn, with whom he’s recently collaborated on the track Keep Walking.
Greg Carlin and the members of Zebra and Giraffe are the fifth act to be added to the I Heart Joburg Festival stage. Z&G made a huge splash in 2008 with the release of their debut album and dominated at the 2009 SA Music Awards.
The Arrows claimed the final spot on the line-up. The Arrows burst on their scene with their hit song love sick and completely took over airwaves with their latest smash hit Spin my world around with Dj Kent.
