Events: international acts, Rudimental and Crystal Fighters announced for this year’s Vodacom in the City.
Vodacom and Seed Experiences have announced that Vodacom
In The City is back to bring eager fans another incredible festival in the
heart of Joburg’s city centre, Mary Fitzgerald Square, Newtown, on Friday, 3
October 2014.
Now in its third year, Vodacom In the City has become a
much-anticipated music experience that brings together a dynamic mix of
international acts and thousands of the city’s music lovers for an
unforgettable musical experience.
To kick off this
year’s lineup, Vodacom and Seed Experiences are proud to announce Rudimental
and Crystal Fighters as the first two international acts on this year’s stage.
Multi-award winning act Rudimental (including a 2014 Brit
Award) is a pioneering melting-pot collective who have taken the British music
scene by storm with their debut album (Home) being released at number 1 on the
UK charts. Championed for their uncompromising approach to music-making, their
huge drum-and-bass-meets-soul anthem and No. 1 single ‘Feel The Love’ helped
them achieve international recognition. Mixing live instrumentation with
digital programming creates the band’s organic sound: “It’s the result of years
of raving, listening to pirate radio, listening to dubs, to tapes older
brothers would bring home, and being inspired by all of it,” says the band’s
Piers Aggett. Expect a uniquely awesome
performance from this lot; they’re notorious for rocking the masses on the
global summer festival circuit including performances at leading international
festivals Glastonbury and the USA’s Coachella in 2014.
British alternative dance band, Crystal Fighters are
well-known for their energetic and engaging live performances. Calling their
sound a mixture of folk, electro, punk, techno, dubstep and Spanish pop, the
band’s debut album, Star of Love, was released to critical acclaim in October
2010. Their second album, Cave Rave, was released in May 2013 and has a number
of hits such as LA Calling and You & I playlisted across South Africa’s
radio stations.
These are the first two of an incredible international
lineup that fits Vodacom In The City’s mix of high energy, electronic, indie
and rock.
Already familiar with the UK festival and music scene,
this year the Seed team travelled to the USA, including Coachella, to
experience, meet and solidify some of this year’s line-up. “The acts we’ve
secured are huge on the international scene right now – Crystal Fighters and
Rudimental played top slots at Coachella, one of the world’s largest and
high-profile music festivals, this year,” says Brian Little, Managing Director
of Seed Experiences.
“We know from experience that the artists we have chosen
will bring our fans an amazing experience from beginning to end – and that’s
our and Vodacom’s main goal,” adds Brian. Vodacom and Seed Experiences will
soon be announcing more international acts to join Rudimental and Crystal
Fighters on the line up.
Vodacom has for a third year come on board as title
sponsor, reaffirming the credibility and importance of Vodacom In The City on
the South African music festival calendar.
