Goldfish Returns To Joburg For One Show Only

After literally taking the electronic music world by storm, SA’s biggest dance music export is back for a unique and memorable one-off Gauteng event.

Old Mutual Encounters Concerts and 206 Productions presents LIVE UNDER THE SUN on Sunday November 1st from 12 -6pm, featuring Goldfish and a host of other top South African acts.

The band will be coming straight from events in Amsterdam and Dubai, bringing home their sophisticated brand of electro-jazz that has won the world over and made Goldfish one of the hottest electronic acts anywhere on the planet.

What makes Goldfish truly unique however, is their ability to translate their sound powerfully into the live arena. The diverse musical talent of Dominic Peters and David Poole is best experienced live – when Goldfish uses live instruments and electronic beats to create a full, layered and improvisational style unlike any other.

Once you’ve seen Goldfish’s live show you will understand that ‘Re-invention of the DJ’ is about as close as you can get to describing what they do. Combining live instruments like Double bass, Saxophone, Keyboards, Flute, and Vocals with Samplers, Effects, Synths and a healthy dollop of freeform improvisation - Goldfish have hit a nerve on dance floors across the world.

The ‘Fishies’, as known by their hordes of loyal fans, have just completed an international tour that has seen them collect passport ink from the United States, Brazil, England, France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Holland, Lithuania, Russia, Dubai and Egypt.

Along the way they've taken over the reigns from DJ legend Pete Tong to mix the sixth installment of the internationally released 'Pure Pacha'.  They also remixed Bob Marley's iconic ‘I Shot the Sheriff’ and have held down a residency at the worlds most famous club, Pacha Ibiza, playing alongside the likes of Basement Jaxx, Will.I.Am, Faithless, Macy Gray and Fedde le Grande.

The LIVE UNDER THE SUN event is the second in an ongoing series of outdoor concerts, following the successful launch of the concept in 2008.  This years event will take place on Sunday November 1st at the Emmarentia Dam, Johannesburg Botanical Gardens.  Phenomenal support acts include the formidable 340ml, The up-and-coming City Bowl Mizers from Durban, and Cape Town’s 7th Son amongst others. 

Tickets are available at www.tunegum.com, R70 in advance and R100 at the gate.
