<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>In the City</b> is back this year with a twist.  Backed by <b>South Africa's </b>number one online retailer, <b>Superbalist.com</b> this years festival promises to be an unbelievable music experience, not just for one day but for three. For the first time ever In the City is expanding to a full weekend city takeover. To sweeten the deal Superbalist will ensure that all ticket holders have no excuses not to look fresh at <b>#SITC2016 </b>by giving every Superbalist In The City ticket holder a Superbalist voucher which can be redeemed online!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Opening up this highly anticipated festival, In the City will host <i>three separate</i> events for lovers of electronic, house, urban, hip-hop, indie and everything in between, all under the banner of th<b>e In the City Weekend</b>. Each of the three events that make up the weekend takeover have a totally different vibe, from electronic on the Friday night, to urban, hip-hop and house on the Saturday, to indie-rock on the Sunday. The entire line-up is yet to be announced, but have a peek below to see who is already confirmed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First up on the bill are U.S. Grammy award nominees and award winning, indie band <b>Foster the People</b> who will headline the concert on <i>Sunday 9 October</i>.  Foster the People are responsible for smash-hits such as "Helena Beat", "Don't Stop (Color on the Walls)" and "Coming of Age" and “Pumped Up Kicks”. We are sure they will ignite Emmarentia Dam with their addictive, quirky dance-infused pop and rock.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Next up is a Think In Electronic personal favourite Daniel Pearce, better known as <b>Eats Everything</b>. The Bristol born DJ/Producer  will headline the AND Liftoff party on <i>Friday 7 October</i>. His set promises to take you on a journey into the new strand of forward-thinking underground music.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Keeping with the English, is London’s very own one-of-a-kind, unbelievably talented multi-vocalist, beatboxer and live loop master, <b>Beardyman</b>.  Known as the ‘king of sound, ruler of beats and destroyer of dance-floors’, Beardyman has won the UK Beatboxing championships twice!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The most recent line-up name to grace the line-up is 24-years old, <b>Mac Miller</b>. Mac is part of the new school of hip-hop, a group of fast rising stars who are taking over the scene. In just nine short years since “dedicating his life to hip-hop” at the age of 15, his style has evolved from teenage frat-rapping to a more introspective and spiritual style in later albums like Faces and GO:OD AM. His sound has evolved from what critics call ‘party rap’ to an adaptive free-associative rhyming style, where Mac Miller is not just a rapper anymore, but also an eclectic artist who can easily adapt to different genres and can also craft, both for him and for other artists.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
One weekend. Three incredible music experiences.</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bringing it back to downtown Jo'burg, the home of In the City, electronic music fans can look forward to a Friday night kick-off party featuring the best in international and local underground electro, deep house and techno for AND Liftoff on 7 October. Renowned for their uncompromising music ethos, the collective of ardent individuals behind the brand are constantly pushing the boundaries of the music that Jo'burg clubbers are exposed to.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On Saturday 8 October, cultural melting pot Braamfontein will be transformed into a tropical beach paradise for the Virgin Mobile Braam Beach Party. Complete with beach sand, palm trees and awesome mobile connectivity, partygoers can make the most of summer in the city – so come dressed in your summer outfits. SA’s best house and hip hop acts will take to the stage to spin lyrics and turn tables while the sun sets over Nelson Mandela Bridge. Head to Great Dane in Braam ‪on Thursday night 7 July for the big line-up reveal hosted by Virgin Mobile.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The pinnacle of the weekend remains the In the City Concert, set in the heart of Jo'burg’s city parks, Emmarentia Dam on Sunday 9 October. Join us for a beautiful day on the grass while listening to the world-class line-up of international artists fresh off the plane from sister Cape Town festival Rocking the Daisies.</div>

<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">P.H.Fat is a Capetonian rap group made up of Smooth Mike (the voice) and Narch (the beats). Together, they make electro rap tracks that are best played loud. They’re the guys who do things a little differently; they don’t have a record label and they give their music away for free. If you’ve ever seen one of their explosive live shows, you’ll understand why they have over 26 000 Facebook fans and a crowd banging down the doors to get in.<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">The Kiffness' deep, infectious sound was pioneered by passionate sound engineer Dave Scott, who was later joined by his musical partner, Black Norris, a.k.a Mvelo Shandu, who plays bass and drums in the band. The duo's relationship was harnessed from endless hours of singing in the chapel and playing jazz together at Michaelhouse High School. This unique, melodic electronica will have you hypnotised. Watch out for their instrumental talent and uninhibited dance moves - you won't regret it. </span><u></u><u></u></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Plastics are a quirky, retro rock band that likes to make their friends dress up in gorilla costumes. They make melodic, disco-flavoured rock, peppered with a lot of lyrical genius. In 2008 they released their first EP, <i>The Plastics</i>, followed closely by another one called <i>Kiss The Plastics</i> (2009). Both were distributed for free - because they're nice like that. Since then, the band has been dishing out hit after successful hit. Their live shows bring with them heaps of infectious energy, fuelled with elation. <u></u><u></u></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Bye Beneco is raw, organic and dreamy, with an underlying gypsy-folk, blues spirit. If that sounds confusing, make sure you see them perform as soon as you can.</span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Relatively new to the scene, soft and folky Bye Beneco is fast making a name for themselves as one of the bands you</span> need <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">to see live. They're known for swapping instruments throughout their set, and delivering tight, clean, swooning vocals that hit you where it matters. Expect a unique, intense energy that is truly palpable - on so many levels. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Building on the enormous success of last year’s ‘Open the City’ competition, Vodacom is once again offering SA’s rock and indie bands the opportunity to win the coveted slot as the only local band on the fully international line-up at this year’s Vodacom In the City (VITC). </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">For last year’s winning band, Cape Town’s Al Bairre, playing at Vodacom In The City has propelled the band further in the local music scene. "Being voted by the public as the winner of Vodacom Open The City last year was such a dream,” says the band. “We were treated like royalty the whole day and got to rub shoulders with and perform alongside some of our international musical heroes. Performing to so many people on such a large scale really cemented our thinking that this is definitely something we want to pursue further."<u></u><u></u></span></div>
