Cape Town - Four international acts are expected to perform at the annual RAMfest rock music festival, which kicks off on Friday.
Swedish band In Flames are expected to lead a line-up of international acts that include AWOLNATION (USA), Infected Mushroom (Israel) and NETSKY (Belgium).
On March 10 Johannesburg will get to experience all the international bands live, while Cape Town will get their turn the following day.
In Flames vocalist Anders Friden says that the band is excited about their upcoming performances in the two cities. "We are really looking forward to touring South Africa. There are many countries that we have visited many times over, but this will be a completely new experience for us. Get ready to hear some delicious metal brewed and matured in Sweden."
Local bands
The first leg of the festival takes place on Friday March 2 in the windy city of Port Elizabeth without the international acts. Bloemfontein is also excluded from the list of venues the bands are expected to visit.
However, local bands such as Fokofpolisiekar, Volume Conflict, Huis Najaar and Hog Hoggidy are expected to grace the smaller cities.
On March 9 Durban will only get one international act when NETSKY joins other local acts that are expected to play at the coastal city stage.
