The December holidays are on the horizon and Grassy Spark and Diamond Thug have an incredible tour planned for the South African coastline this December. The Summer Lovin’ Tour kicks off in Cape Town on December 16th and travels down the rest of the Western Cape, along the Eastern Cape and ends in the Drakensberg in KZN on New Year’s Eve.
Two of SA’s top live acts join forces for one of the most epic December tours 2016 has to offer and are bringing the freshest and grooviest local tunes night by night to a number of favourite holiday destinations.
Both acts also end the year on a high note as Grassy Spark release their brand new single ‘Feel It’ featuring Khaos Cotterell from The Rudimentals, and Diamond Thug features on GoldFish’s brand new single “Deep Of The Night”.

The SUMMER LOVIN’ tour is a must experience for any fun-loving holiday goer this December and both bands are ready to entertain with top class live sets at each event!
A little about the bands:
Grassy Spark:
Needing little introduction following their month-long stint at #1 on 5fm’s Indie Rock Chart with their single ‘Here I Am’, Grassy Spark make music that is sure to get your body moving like it’s never moved before! Their eclectic debut album: ‘Portal’, released worldwide through Gallo Records, has taken them from flame emoji to flame emoji. Their primetime slot at SA’s biggest music festival, Rocking the Daisies gave them the opportunity to open for Foster the People, Mac Miller and Beardyman and we can assure you they didn’t disappoint. Grassy Spark are fresh off their latest tour opening for UK Reggae-Pop legends UB40 all around South Africa and itching to round off their exceptional year with some Summer Lovin’ like we’ve never seen before. Get your vocal pipes ready, because you’ll be singing along all night.

Diamond Thug:
Hauntingly beautiful vocal melodies float above a distinct musical concoction. Their unique sound waves swirl through the air, giving rise to a plethora of emotion reaching deep into your soul, resulting in an alternative-pop sound unlike any other. Their year has been a busy one, which included the release of their debut EP: ‘Monday Will Have to Wait’ through Norwegian based distributor Phonofile; their first European tour taking them to sold-out shows across Germany, The Netherlands and France; performances across many of SAs top festivals; collaborations with SA music legends and most recently time in studio recording their own debut full length album. This tour will see Diamond Thug showcasing brand new, unheard material as well as performing old favourites to fans across South Africa’s beautiful coastline.
