People following the 11-day National Arts Festival will be glad to know that this year's Festival Artistic Committee have shaken things up to bring you a fresh new line-up.

In a bit to recognise that South Africa's music industry is growing stronger they saw fit to add more names to the musical acts set to grace the stage.

The main programme promises a variety of shows for all types of music lovers. The biggest name is hip hop artist AKA.

The ‘Baddest’ hitmaker will be lighting up the stage for one night only.

The local music industry has been carving its own identity and infusing itself with an international flavour in order to establish itself on the global stage.

Rock band Prime Circle will also be there. They are leaders of the pack when it comes to South African rock. With various hit singles under their belt such as Consider Me, She Always Gets What She Wants, and Breathing, they've also picked up 16 South African Music Awards (SAMA) nominations and a SAMA win for best rock album.

On the soul side, The Muffinz are an act that will leave you feeling a range of emotions. The band has also been nominated for a SAMA, and are embarking on a US tour soon.
