The music map
For those who are willing to travel for some good music and entertainment, this is for you.
MBOMBELA – The Lowveld musical socialites don’t always know how to do a ‘quiet evening in’ and many weeks go by when the Lowveld’s music radar is nothing but a blank screen with a few minor blimps.
This guide will provide information about, not only which events are happening in the Lowveld, but also shed some stage lights on events within 500 kilometres from the city – for those rock ‘n rollers who love to travel.

It might not be music, but Russell Brand’s presence in South Africa is definitely worth a mention. He will be at Montecasino in Johannesburg tonight at 20:00. Tickets are available at Computicket.
Friday 2 October:
• For the love of rock, Albert Frost is gracing the city with his guitar royalty once again. After 20 years of creating blues magic on an electric riff, it will be sinful for any blues fan to miss this opportunity.
