Epic free concert series fires up Ballito Pro
Yo Grapes kicked things off, followed by the Black Lapels, Freddy L, Majozi, Desmond and the Tutus and DJ Kyle Cassim, who closed the series.
With the return of international surfing at the Ballito Pro pres. by O’Neill, so too came the return of its renowned free concert series.
On Thursday and Friday last week, some of the country’s best musicians performed to an adoring Ballito crowd at the new Salmon Bay site.
Despite safety, noise and waste concerns, the organisers were able to deliver two top quality events with no major incidents reported.
On Thursday, the evening began with Battle of the DJs winner, DJ Blackzin, before DJ Merlon, the Q Twins and DJ Tira all showed off their range of performances.
Friday night was equally well supported by the greater Ballito community, who arrived to see another top quality line-up.
Families, teenagers and adults filled the beach to enjoy the broad appeal of the musicians on stage.
After the event closed at 11pm to comply with noise regulations, the over-18s enjoyed official after-parties at Good Vibes and Conchilla.
The community-first aspect of the event was reinforced when 40 volunteers from the KwaDukuza African National Congress arrived for a beach clean-up on both Friday and Saturday mornings to ensure a litter-free environment.
