AL BAIRRE TO ‘OPEN THE CITY’ AT VODACOM IN THE CITY
THE FIVE-PIECE INDIE SYMPHONIC ROCK ACT TO PLAY ALONGSIDE
MAJOR INTERNATIONAL LINE-UP
After two weeks of stiff online competition and over 18
000votes received from the public, Al Bairre have come out victorious and have
earned the right to ‘Open The City’ at this year’s Vodacom In The City. The
annual event featuring a stellar international line-up alt-J, The Hives, Boys
Noize and Skunk Anansie takes place on the 4th of October at Mary Fitzgerald
Square in Newtown, Johannesburg.
After a grueling judging session to determine the five
finalists for the ‘Open The City’ competition, Vodacom then launched a
competition where the public vote for their favourite act to perform at Vodacom
In The City. The nominated bands; aKing, Beatenberg, Al Bairre, Monark and
Aztec Sapphire were pitted against each other to rally up the most public votes
from their fans. The band with the most votes not only would perform at Vodacom
In The City, but will also be flown to Rocking the Daisies in the Western Cape
to perform to 15 000 fans.
Lead guitarist, Kyle Davis, from the band had the following
to say after the band heard the fantastic news; ‘Tessa just fainted into a
coffee table, Julia is trying to do a hand stand, Tom and Nic are double high
fiving repeatedly and I fist pumped a light out and then threw up from the
excitement.’
Proving that hard work and ‘thinking out of the box’ pays
off, Al Bairrecreated many DIY routes online enticing their fans to vote for
them. Why not come and see what the one of the most talked about bands in the
country at the moment have up their sleeve for Vodacom In The City on the 4th
of October 2013. The band will jet off immediately after Vodacom In The City to
perform at the sold out Rocking the Daisies taking place on Cloof Wine Estate in
Darling from 3 – 6 October 2013.
