Cape Town, start the new year with something special! The Silo Concerts return to the V&A Waterfront’s Silo District with Acoustic Sunset — a free, open-air evening of live music under the stars. On Friday, 2 January 2026, the Silo District will come alive with an incredible lineup of artists bringing you heartfelt harmonies, acoustic gems, and unforgettable performances.

Here’s who you can look forward to:

AuldField [Robin Auld & Wendy Oldfield]
With some of South Africa’s most-played songs to their names, Robin Auld and Wendy Oldfield combine djembe, soul vocals, harmonica, and African blues guitar to create a fresh roots sound. Their collaboration blends classics like All of Woman and Acid Rain with their contemporary catalogue for an uplifting, feel-good show.

Hatchetman
Known for their unmatched harmonies and emotional storytelling, Hatchetman’s sound cuts straight to the heart. Their repertoire moves effortlessly between folk, rock, and acoustic styles, with covers ranging from Crosby, Stills & Nash to Imagine Dragons, alongside original songs inspired by life and Cape Town itself.

Jenny & James
Jennifer Eaves (guitar & vocals) and James Hall (fiddle & vocals) bring a Celtic-inspired folk sound filled with heartfelt lyrics, rich harmonies, and foot-tapping reels. With more than a decade of performing together, their music takes audiences on a journey that’s both intimate and uplifting.

Yoav & Jabulile Majola
A collaboration born of serendipity, Yoav’s ethereal indie folk sound meets Jabulile’s soulful, heartfelt vocals in a partnership that’s as unexpected as it is powerful. Their debut album Unyazi and standout track Stranger explore connection, vulnerability, and the beauty of embracing change.

Keanu Harker
One of Cape Town’s brightest young stars, Keanu Harker is known for his high-energy performances and smooth acoustic sessions. With international tours and cruise ship performances under his belt, Keanu brings versatility, enthusiasm, and a fresh energy to every stage he steps on.

James Stewart & John Ellis
A collaboration between two of South Africa’s most celebrated singer-songwriters. James Stewart (The Usual) and John Ellis (Tree63) join forces to deliver a show filled with melody, piano, guitar, and harmonies — from radio favourites to reimagined classics.

Whether you’re soaking up the music with friends, bringing family along, or visiting the V&A Waterfront for the first time, Acoustic Sunset promises an evening of authentic performances, community spirit, and the unique atmosphere only the Silo District can offer.
