South African singer-songwriter Jeremy Loops will take to the stage at the stunning Zevenwacht Wine Estate, offering fans a mix of good vibes, great music and festive fun.

Known for his soulful blend of modern folk and captivating live performances, Loops has become a household name on the local music scene and beyond.

With international tours alongside Twenty One Pilots and Milky Chance and appearances at global festivals, the musician has cemented his place as a world-class act. But there’s nothing like enjoying his tunes under the South African summer sky.

Loops recently teased his upcoming album, diving into more emotional and experimental songwriting.

“Some songs are not the traditional happy-go-lucky Jeremy Loops songs that people know me for,” he told IOL in October.

His single "Go Again", released in September, has already set the tone for his evolving sound.

Expect to hear some fresh tracks along with crowd favourites as Loops strums his guitar and keeps the festive spirit alive.

Gather your friends, grab a picnic blanket and head to Zevenwacht for a memorable day. With fully stocked bars, artisanal food stalls and the scenic views of the wine estate, there’s something for everyone. No outside food or drinks are allowed.

The event promises a laid-back vibe, combining Loops’ world-class performance with the natural beauty of Zevenwacht —a perfect way to celebrate the festive season outdoors.

When: Sunday, December 14, at noon.

A decade of Robin Pieters

Robin Pieters, who shot to fame after winning the third season of “The Voice SA”, is ready to dazzle Cape Town with his R&B vibes.

To mark his tenth anniversary, he will be hosting a show called “Empower Her” at the Grand Arena at GrandWest, starting from Wednesday, December 18.

Known for hits like "Recall", "Move Right On", and "Fool", Pieters continues to charm audiences with his latest single, "Unstoppable".

Reflecting on his 10-year journey in the music industry, Pieters described his career as a “roller coaster ride” filled with challenges and triumphs.

Speaking to the “Daily Voice, he shared: "I am so grateful to have made it this far.”

“I will never forget the way it all started for me, a flamboyant back-up singer for some of South Africa’s top musicians. This was the stepping stone that carried me to achieve greater things in my career over the years."

Pieters' upcoming show is a tribute to the artists who have influenced and supported him throughout his career. Joining him on stage will be powerhouse singers such as Jamali, Jody Williams, Sasha-Lee Davids, Andrea Fortuin, Talitha and former “Idols SA” winner, Karin Kortje.
