Popular alternative Durban based production company Groundsweep Productions, will be doing their first ever event in the mother city on Saturday the 28th of January 2017 at one of Cape Town’s best live music venues ‘Mercury Live’.

Groundsweep from day one prides itself in steering away from any kind of scene or genre and this carries on with this tradition with one of the most diverse and open minded line ups Cape Town has seen in recent years.

So if you like folk/hip-hop/rock ‘n roll/pop/punk/indie and even sounds and dialogue from as far away from Cape Town as Tanzania this is the show for you, an event like no other and an outing that will have you talking weeks later.

So don’t miss this eclectic diverse gathering of the misfits of Cape Town, this is the best party you will attend all year whether you like it or not.
