What an amazingly wicked day. Saturday 4 September 2010 will forever be etched into my memory as the best Joburg Day ever. I’ve been trying to figure out how many I’ve done so far and I think its got to be seven or eight. But I can safely say this has been the best line up. There has been some great individual performances that stand out over the years. The legendary Johnny Clegg singing The Scatterlings of Africa as the sun set a few years ago. Prime Circle rocking Live This Life and the Parlotones having the crowd eat out of their hands back in 2008, the last time Joburg day was held at the Randburg Sports ground.
The line up in 2010 was seriously impressive. La Vuvuzela, Loyiso, Danny K, Jack Parrow, HHP, Liquid Deep, Thembi Seethi, Arno Carstens, Denim, Freshly Ground, Prime Circle, The Parlotones and Locnville. There were also guest appearances by Axene, the Irish band Ash and Thabo Mdluli to name just a few.
Everyone brought their A game. But the stars of the show were undoubtedly The Parlotones and Locnville for me. I’m looking forward to Joburg Day 2011 and to see how 94.7 Highveld Stereo can top the 2010 line up. Below are some pictures I took on the day:
