Clarence Ford Speaks with Big Concerts CEO Justin Van Wyk

Listen to the interview in the audio below.

The inaugural Calabash music festival will take place at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg on 31 January, and the DHL Stadium in Cape Town on 4 February.

The massive festival will feature performances by Keane, Meduza, Ava Max, Will Linley and Lloyiso, and will be headlined by pop-rock royalty Maroon 5.

This will be the first time SA will see Maroon 5 performing on our shores in more than a decade.

Van Wyk says that they hope to create a large event that can spread over multiple days, which we could see with Calabash next year.

 “There is a bit of everything for everyone in the family.”

- Justin Van Wyk, Big Concerts CEO

Tickets are on sale and can be purchased on www.calabashsouthafrica.co.za or Ticketmaster.co.za.

Van Wyk warns that people must not buy tickets off of viagogo as they will not be allowed into the venue.

“Do not buy tickets from secondary platforms, only buy it from the official ticketing agent.”
