What's on in Durban this weekend
Don’t let the middle-of-January-empty-wallet-syndrome get the better of you. It’s going to be a gorgeous weekend on the east coast plus there are a few sales and cheap gigs.
As they say, "Durban is always the hottest place to be".
THURSDAY 16 JANUARY
Carpe Durban at the Winston
The student crowds have been rocking the Winston every Thursday night, throughout the festive season. Why would things be any different this Thursday? Get yourself down to Carpe Durban for your fair share of festivities. Check out more deets here.
FRIDAY 17 JANUARY
Sales
January SALES. It’s the final weekend of January mark downs. Most retailers are still in serious SALE swing. Stuttafords, Truworths and Foschini have some massive deals as well as Zara, Topshop, Cotton On, JayJays and Identity. Escape the heat outside and head to your nearest mall for some bargains.
The Wolf of Wall Street
Everyone can’t stop talking about Leonardo Di Caprio in The Wolf of Wall Street. The latest Martin Scorsese film has already cleaned up a good few Golden Globe awards and has had social media in a frenzy. Make your own opinions and book your ticket. It’s definitely not one for the kids or the conservative. Brace yourself.
SATURDAY
Swag Nation
The Uber Cool team are taking over The Wood Bar and The Engine Room of Origin for Swag Nation. We don’t know what that means either but you can expect some good hip-hop. It’s like a regular Origin Saturday but with less doof doof and more bounce. For full details, check out the Facebook event. The damage: is R80/R60 before 10pm.
December Streets, Cat Like Thieves and Shout Hey
Durban’s most treasured live venue, aptly named LIVE, plays host to December Streets, Cat Like Thieves and Shout Hey. The Pretoria based band December Streets promise some serious foot stomping, skirt lifting, shoulder popping fun. If you’re desperate to be a part of the mix but feeling the middle of January pinch, it might be your lucky day! Email your name and number to [email protected] to win a pair of tickets ; )
Look forward to…
Dusty Rich at Amsterdam Bar Comedy Club, next Wednesday night. With acts from Durban, Joburg and Cape Town it’s sure to be a goodie!
