Hit after hit at Parklife Festival

Donavon Frankenreiter, KT Tunstall and Frank Turner will be headlining the Parklife Festival on March 21 in Johannesburg.


Frankenreiter has built a loyal South African fanbase through the surf and indie music scene.

As an American musician and surfer, his debut self-titled album was released in 2004 on Jack Johnson’s Brushfire Records label. Frankenreiter released his fifth album Start Livin’ in 2012 and fans will be looking forward to hearing him perform songs such as It Don’t Matter, Free, You and Shadows.

KT Tunstall’s hits include Suddenly I See, Other Side Of The World and Black Horse & The Cherry Tree. She’s sold four million albums and her live performance style has won her many kudos.

Frank Turner’s fifth album, Tape Deck Heart, is about change. After 1 400 incendiary live shows and four acclaimed albums, the musician previously known as a punk poet became a sort of pop star. Turner performed at the Olympics Opening Ceremony, standing on a fake Glastonbury Tor. He’s also headlined Wembley Arena.

The rest of the line-up for the Parklife Festival in Johannesburg will include Jack Parow, Gangs of Ballet, Al Bairre, The Plastics, ShortStraw, The Kiffness, Monark, The December Streets, Newtown Knife Gang, Wrestlerish and Laurie Levine & Josie Field.
