Watch the I Heart Joburg festival at home! Well, kinda

In one of the coolest initiatives EVER, fans of the I Heart Joburg Music Festival have the chance to hype themselves up for the festival this weekend by watching the set up LIVE!

That's right! Those going ( or wish they were going)  to the whole day concert this weekend can watch the stage set up and concert build up live in HD on a dedicated Facebook page.

The stream kicked off on Monday and shows the venue for the concert, Ellis Park, coming alive with scaffolding. The stream will continue until Saturday's event.

It's a pretty exciting initiative from the organisers. South Africa has hosted loads of live music events with some of the world's biggest names, but we can't remember ever having a live build up like this.

It's making us pretty excited!

Catch the stream on the link below:
