More on Tidal Waves:

'The crowd is skanking in unison, bouncing up and down like an irie earthquake of rhythm. The maestro with the guitar stops blowing his harmonica and leans into the microphone and shouts: 'Original Music! For Original People!' The crowd screams back in togetherness. The maestro smiles and hits them with another song.'

The sound is original roots reggae with strong rock, ska and blues influences. They are renowned for performing music in English, Afrikaans, Setswana and Tshivhenda. Their performances are always high energy and the band plays regularly in Johannesburg and Pretoria as well as touring and gigging nationwide, especially the mother city of Cape Town. Tidal Waves are widely regarded as the hardest working reggae band in South Africa and are also regulars at festivals like Oppikoppi. Tidal Waves have taken their original music tours to Mozambique, Swaziland and as far abroad as New Zealand and the Seychelles. They also have several successful tours of Europe under their belts, where they performed at the Pukkelpop festival in Belgium and the Mano Mundo festival in the Netherlands, as well as a packed schedule of medium size venues across Belgium and Italy.

And now you have the opportunity to see them live in Namibia for the first time!
