recently announced headline appearance at the Oppikoppi festival in August.
Two additional
KONGOS shows will take place at the Durban Botanic Gardens on August 3 and at
The Hillcrest Quarry for One Night in
Cape Town on August 5.
Great South African
local support will be on the line up in both Durban and Cape Town.
KONGOS is a South
African-born American alternative rock band consisting of four brothers: Johnny
(accordion, keyboards, vocals), Jesse (drums, percussion, vocals), Daniel
(guitar, vocals), and Dylan KONGOS (bass guitar, lap slide guitar, vocals).
They spent their childhoods in London and in South Africa. They compose and
record in Phoenix, Arizona, where they have lived since 1996.*
KONGOS’ new album, Egomaniac, was released on June 10, via
Just Music. Take It From Me, the
first single off Egomaniac has
already hit the US charts. The band will perform several songs from the new
album as well as select cuts from their previous release.
The band’s album Lunatic (2012) was chock full of hits,
including I’m Only Joking and Come with Me Now. The latter reached
double platinum status in both the United States and Canada
A limited number of
