Two local music heroes are set to take the stage at the very first Kultura Festival, happening from Friday 20 to Friday 27 June at Curro Durbanville High School.
Their crowd-pleasing performances promise to electrify the stage and establish the festival as a calendar highlight.
Early B Brings the Beat
Afrikaans rapper Early B presents a high-energy performance with DJ Justin Vega for a night of music, rhythm, and pure entertainment on Tuesday 24 June at 19:00.
Early B, born Earl Swartz, is known for his razor-sharp wit and relatable storytelling. He has a knack for blending humour, social commentary, and raw authenticity into his lyrics. His music draws inspiration from his upbringing in the Eastern Cape and his beloved “Dal” (Bloemendal).
Beyond the music, Early B is a beacon of positivity and cultural pride. He’s not afraid to poke fun at life’s quirks or celebrate South African culture. With every track, he reminds us that the best way to tackle life’s challenges is to put on a great groove and dance right through it. As his admirers say, his songs are like “education op ‘n drill beat”.
Judged by a Legend, Rocked by a Hero
On Friday, 27 June at 18:30, the Battle of the Bands competition sets the stage for an unforgettable finale — rock legend Francois van Coke and his band will bring the first Kultura Festival to a powerful close.
The event will see the top three high school bands in the Western Cape battle it out live for a cash prize and the chance to perform at Die Boer Theatre. Each band will bring its own sound and style, so expect anything from electric guitars to cellos, and everything in between.
Van Coke will not only serve as the competition’s main judge but will then perform live with his full band after the school finalists light up the stage.
Whether you’re a proud parent, music lover, or festival-goer looking for a night of incredible talent and an electric atmosphere, these are two must-see events.
Tickets are available via Quicket.
