“Our first event in Pretoria (last year) was a massive success with many people from the city asking for us to bring it back and that’s exactly what we have done. This time featuring some of the country’s most exciting talent, all ready to bring their music to life alongside the artwork of Felipe Pantone,” says Simone Smith, Ballantine’s Scotch Whisky Brand Manager.

The artists on the line-up include Pierre Johnson, Kat La Kat, Trancemicsoul and Kid Fonque, who will all connect their music to the artwork created by Felipe Pantone. The artwork will act as its own equaliser, allowing musicians to experience a visual representation of the music they produce and play within the space, ensuring a performance experience like no other for music fans.

Felipe’s latest pieces for the Ballantine’s True Music Series have been inspired by underground club culture, the recording and production process, and music soundwaves.
