South African rock band Watershed will celebrate 25 years this weekend at Cape Town’s Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, and they promise to give fans an experience to remember.
“Reaching 25 years as a band is something truly special. It’s been an incredible journey of music, memories, and connection with our fans,” said the band’s frontman Craig Hinds.
One of South Africa’s most beloved bands, the band will celebrate a quarter of a century of playing together this weekend at the Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concerts on Sunday, 16 March.
“Our fans will expect all the favourites, some surprises, and an evening that will stay with you long after the last note fades,” Hinds said.
