Pretoria’s best-kept music secret hits the right notes
A sun-drenched Saturday, easy rhythms, and a crowd that came to chill - Somewhere in a Garden turned Brooklyn Square Park into a laid-back haven for live music lovers.
Pretoria’s Somewhere in a Garden brought mellow Saturday energy to Brooklyn Square Park with a relaxed mix of sunshine, shade and standout local music.
Not quite a festival, but more than a picnic, the event featured performances by crowd favourites Zebra and Tidal Waves.
Zebra’s vibey rock drew a solid following, while Tidal Waves added a groovy reggae touch that had the crowd swaying from start to finish.
Started during lockdown by a group of young organisers passionate about live music, Somewhere in a Garden has grown into a loved and easy-going gathering. The setting – leafy trees, open lawns, and soft winter light – offered the perfect escape for anyone looking to wind down without missing out.
The crowd was youthful but mixed — stylish groups of friends, couples on blankets, and locals looking to catch a good show. Everyone found their rhythm, and the vibe stayed cool and carefree from start to finish.
With a focus on good sound and good energy, Somewhere in a Garden continues to carve out a space for Pretoria’s live music lovers.
