This weekend, Saturday 17h15 to be exact, would have been the epic ‘Trans Jukskei’ derby, with the Bulls hosting the Lions at Loftus Versfeld in a SuperRugby game.

Of course, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and consequent lockdown regulations, this match will not take place.

The emerging young singer, Dylan Pretorius, runner-up in the VOICE South Africa season two, would have been performing in the Beer Garden at Loftus Versfeld before kick-off. So, it got the stadium management thinking… why stop the entertainment, even in the absence of rugby?

Pretorius has agreed to doing a live performance on the Bulls Facebook page on Saturday starting at 17:15. It’s the first time any local rugby team will be hosting a Facebook live concert and the organizers are inviting fans to join them.

What does this mean for Bulls fans and how does it work?

• The musical set will be performed live from Dylan Pretorius’s Studio. That means he’ll be safe and isolated in his house.
• Everyone can join the show, from the safety of their home, by simply visiting the Bulls Facebook page ( https://web.facebook.com/BullsOfficial/ ) on Saturday at 17:15
• Link up your cell phone or computer to your speakers, pour yourself a nice beverage and start the braai fire.
• You will be encouraged to engage and interact with the artist by commenting on Facebook. He will take a few requests and engage back with fans while performing.
• Feel free to engage with other users on the stream… chat about the music, rugby and share your predications of what the game would have been like… it’s a social event, enjoy it.
