Cape Town - Top artists, including Mi Casa, Emo Adams, and Abavuki will headline Cape Town’s comeback open-air Festive Lights Switch-on event this year.
In a statement, the City said that the artists were specially chosen to speak to the diverse audience anticipated to descend on the CBD, on November 27.
Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis said: “The event promises to be a party that will appeal to the whole family. We are looking forward to an afternoon and evening of festive fun, with an amazing line-up.
Hill-Lewis also revealed that Atlantis-born singer-songwriter and Idols Season 5 co-winner Sasha-Lee Davids, and singer-songwriter and TikTok star Will Linley, DJ Codax would also be performing at the event.
He said: “The highlight of the evening will of course be the official switch-on moment, which will be followed by a fabulous and colourful video display that will illuminate City Hall and the surrounding buildings with a depiction of Cape Town’s unique and compelling story of hope and resilience. The line-up for 2023, as in years past, had a little something for everyone."
The City said the audience should expect versatile and energetic music courtesy of the Jeodhouse Band, which will lead a toe-tapping set of their signature sound that crosses multiple genres of music from R&B to Disco and everything in between.
The City has also gotten on board Shimmy Isaacs and Wayne McKay to be the Masters of Ceremony (MCs) on the night.
Safety and Security Mayco JP Smith said: “We are so excited to stage this event once again. It is a massive highlight on the City’s events calendar, and also for thousands of our residents who make this part of their year-end social excursions. I think the line-up will strike a chord with everyone, whether young or old, and it really should be a stellar event, as we have become accustomed to.”
