Prime Circle Concert at Hillcrest Quarry

The golden boys of Mzansi’s music scene head to Durbanville for a rocking show in a unique setting

Fans of local legends and award-winning rock group Prime Circle are in for a treat when the five-piece band digs deep for a knock-out, rock-out show at the Hillcrest Quarry in Durbanville on Sunday, 27 October 2013.

After a whirlwind acoustic tour in Cape Town earlier this year, the band is back in the Mother City for this one-day, chilled out outdoor concert in the Northern Suburbs. Located at the heart of Durbanville’s wine valley, the Hillcrest Wine Estate’s unique venue, The Quarry, provides a scenic and beautiful setting to soak up frontman Ross Learmonth’s instantly recognisable vocals and the band’s iconic melodic rock tracks. The stage will positioned on the edge of the lake with rock cliffs as a backdrop, and concert-goers can pick prime spots on the sprawling greens.

Though the group hasn’t released anything new since November 2012, they boast more than a decade’s experience in the music industry and have captured the hearts of both local and international audiences alike. Aside from embarking on their own overseas tours, the fiery five-some has shared stages with icons like Queen, Annie Lennox and Metallica, and has also toured alongside American rock groups Alter Bridge and 3 Doors Down.

In just 11 years, Prime Circle has released 5 studio albums, 2 compilation records, 18 singles and 10 music videos and shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon.

Patrons can stock up on yummy treats from the on-site cash bar and visitors are encouraged to bring along blankets, cushions and low chairs for comfort (umbrellas will not be permitted).
