WIN TICKETS: The Parlotones back in SA for one day only

Internationally acclaimed and multiplatinum selling rock band The Parlotones, are set to perform at the Old Mutual Music at the Lake concert, Durban Botanic Gardens on Sunday, 8 June. Accompanying The Parlotones is Durban-born singer, Michael Lowman and we have 5 x double tickets to giveaway to 5 x lucky readers. Simply comment below telling us why you should win. *T & C’s apply.

The Parlotones, whose experimental style incorporates traditional folk structures with modern rock sounds, are known to regularly champion the cause for sensitivity and care for the environment.

Over the years, The Parlotones have lent their celebrity status to initiatives such as Earth Hour and Live Earth. They have also opened for bands such as LIVE, Maroon 5 and Coldplay.

Back from Los Angeles, their return to the Durban Botanic Gardens ensures that funds are raised to assist the garden to carry out its mandate: to maintain and improve biodiversity, to educate the public and to look after an important space for community use.

“Music is a powerful force that highlights important issues and The Parlotones’ role in the environmentalism space is welcome,” commented Bandile Mngoma, Old Mutual sponsorship manager.

“Through this series at the gardens we raise awareness of the part each person plays in waste management, our impact on the environment as city dwellers and the role of plants in our environment,” said Mngoma.

Supporting act, Michael Lowman, will bring his Eric Clapton and Beatles inspired music to the Durban Botanic Gardens. With his gift for storytelling and an underlying rhythmic and melodic sense on the guitar, this young singer/songwriter will bring heat to the gardens.

This year, KZN’s premium outdoor music venue, the Durban Botanic Gardens, has already presented live concerts of some of the most talented and accomplished musicians such as Gangs of Ballet and Mi Casa, who received five nominations at the SAMA20. Both bands recently played to sold-out crowds, proving the rise in popularity of outdoor music in South Africa.
