GIG OF THE WEEK
Redd’s Street Carnival
Glenwood (Tomorrow)
IF you want to experience the vibrant cultures of Durban, then don’t miss the Redd’s Street Carnival which descends on the Glenwood area tomorrow.
There will be a vivid display of South African-inspired floats, masks and over-the-top outfits with an explosive mix of South Africa’s leading artists, fused with a surprise line-up of eclectic acts, including performances from event MC and beat boxer, Jean Kitenge, DJ Sgqemeza, The Arrows, DJ Shimza, Dreamteam, Ricky Rick and Major League. The artists form part of the Street Carnival after party to be held at the Stella Sports Club.
A press release states that the 1.5km route, comprised of sections of the surrounding roads of the Stella Sports Club, namely Helen Joseph, Clark, Brand and Bulwer, will be closed off from 5pm to 6.30pm as the Street Carnival procession takes place and re-opened shortly after the parade has passed through.
Tickets to the after party, which is only open to adults over 18 years of age, will be sold through Computicket at R50 each, with a percentage of net ticket sale proceeds being donated to the City of Durban’s approved arts and culture organisations.
The Redd’s Street Carnival is said to be an out-of-this-world experience, with a crisp, refreshing burst that only Redd’s can bring.
• Don’t miss the Redd’s Street Carnival tomorrow from 5pm. For info, visit www.redds.co.za/ tickets and tickets are available through Computicket.
