Tree63

Formed in Durban in 1997 and led by singer-songwriter/guitarist John Ellis, Tree63 is one of South Africa’s most iconic rock exports. After breaking out with domestic hits like “Treasure” and “Stumbling Stone”, the band achieved massive international success, signing with US label InPop Records, winning a Dove Award for Rock Album of the Year, and topping Billboard’s radio charts with their hit rendition of “Blessed Be Your Name”.

Following extensive worldwide tours across the UK, US, Canada, and Europe, the band returned in full force to the live arena in 2025. Tree63 released their critically acclaimed album Voyage in July 2026—their first studio record produced on South African soil since 2002. Expect an explosive performance packed with timeless hits and dynamic new material.

THE STREMES

Formed in London in 2006 by frontman Wayne Pauli, THE STREMES are a South African rock band fusing classic, guitar-driven rock with modern electronic soundscapes. Drawing inspiration from 60s blues rock to powerhouse 90s acts like U2, Nirvana, and Oasis, the Cape Town-based lineup features Wayne Pauli (vocals/guitar), Benjamin Peacefull (bass/vocals), and Atom Shape (drums/vocals).

After capturing international attention early on MySpace and releasing their debut album Maze of Light, the band returned strong in 2024 with fresh single releases including “The City Sleeps” and 2025’s “Overload”. Currently recording new material and lighting up venues and festivals across South Africa, THE STREMES bring raw, melodic rock energy straight to the stage.
