'BACK TO THE CITY' Street Festival
On the morning of the 27th of April, a wave of urban youth will stream into downtown Newtown for the popular,
annual Back to the City festival. Disciples and converts of the hip-hop movement will celebrate the art and urban culture through a day of live performances, street art, extreme sports and exhibitions. The one-day event was launched with critical acclaim from the hip-hop media and ma**es last year, winning accolades such as
Hype magazine's event of the year. The second edition promises more historic performances, boasting a
Fiery line up of 22 mc's, 10 dj's, 8 graffiti crews and thousands of young people celebrating the birth of
South Africa's democracy. Cutting edge performers from various parts of the country will deliver hot commentary and entertainment in diverse indigenous languages while artists will be expressing their freedom in colours.
This event will take place outside RITUAL STORES at corner Bree and Henry Nxumalo streets in Newtown. Aside from being entertained, audiences will get to attend an educational summit, which will be held at City Varsity. Hosted by the British Council, the workshops offer an exchange of knowledge. Individuals working in the ma** media industry will cover topics such as publishing, distribution, recording, music videos, and independent vs. mainstream, entrepreneurship and advertising.
