Ok so I nearly swivelled straight off my chair!

Just a few days ago I wrote a post about the news that the Red Hot Chili Peppers could possibly be hitting South African shores in 2013. This is obviously quite a while away – which made me very sad.

Luckily however a piece of info reached my ears this morning that made my heart skip a beat and then cruise into overdrive. Massive Attack is coming to Cape Town!

Ok, well, actually this is still very much a rumour. Apparently Massive Attack will be teaming up with the guys behind the Sonar music festival in Spain. Together they are looking to host Cape Town’s very own version of this acclaimed festival and all over the exact same weekend that Design Indaba will be on.

That’s right - it coincides with Design Indaba which is running from 02-04 March. That is exactly a month from now…WOW so soon!!!

Obviously details are still rather sketchy at this point, but I will keep my eyes and ears open for any and all info regarding the Massive Attack concert in Cape Town. I’m not exactly sure if the event will happen at the Design Indaba itself (CTICC) or if they will simply play ‘somewhere’ in Cape Town.

I suppose it would have been cool if they announced this a bit sooner. My budget has already been allocated for various festivals. Now we get hit with this deliciously awesome musical ‘sucker punch’.
Seriously, if this goes down, I cannot miss it.
Hmmm, well perhaps I could always sell one of my organs on the black market :P

Does anybody have any solid reconnaissance to confirm this rumour? If you hear anything please let us know.

Massive Attack concert Cape Town – please make this happen!
