This year’s performance lineup includes multi-award-winning legendary jazz musician Tshepo Tshola, songbird Brenda Mtambo, Afro-soul musician Berita, music duo Jeziel Brothers, Afro-pop music group Encore, jazz guitarist Billy Monama, jazz musician Lindiwe Maxolo and Afro-soul musician Semito.

Festival-goers are encouraged to a picnic by the river with baskets, camps chairs, umbrellas and braai stands while being mesmerised by the soothing sounds of classic jazz, new-age jazz and Afro-soul.

“Jazz by the River Festival is one of the first festivals to be known in the country, therefore, it is correct to call it the heritage of Mzansi, and that’s why people had to demand it back. Hence the atmosphere is always marvellous to witness,” says Khulu Malindi, CEO of One Big Entertainment.

Jazz by the River Festival tickets are available at Computicket. Alternatively, contact Palesa on 063 087 7946.
