19h00: Matt Gardiner

Matt Gardiner is a multi-talented singer-songwriter, musician, and producer from Pietermaritzburg, who combines his strong vocals, and guitar with a looping pedal for an upbeat, vibey, and captivating performance.

He made his South African national debut in 2016 when he became one of the Top 37 contestants of South African Idols. He has since shared stages with artists such as Matthew Mole, Majozi, Desmond and the Tutus, December Streets, Prime Circle, Micasa, Arno Carstens, and Just Jinjer, as well as international pop duo Neon Dreams, to name a few.

He describes his music as acoustically written and transformed into a uniquely different pop sound with electronic production, deep and melodic bass-lines which can also be experienced in his solo or full band performances.

His single Brown Hair, Brown Eyes has been heard across radio stations nation-wide and even went on to taking the #1 spot, closely tailed by his follow up single Believer which has at the time of writing reached number 2 on the 5FM Pop chart.

 

20h00 - close: The Undaunted

The Undaunted are a four-piece cover band specialising in well-known, up-tempo hits for any occasion. They aim, through their music, to get the crowd on the dance floor and having a good time.
