*20h40 – The Lion, the Bear & The Panther*
The predators are back! The Lion, the Bear & The Panther are a powerhouse reformed three-piece rock outfit (formerly AVADE) and a true MiTH crowd favourite. Combining deep musical brotherhood with raw energy, this dynamic trio commands the stage with an unforgettable presence. The lineup features Ross (frontman, electric guitar) and Brendon Meintjies (drums), and Ruben Thomas (bass). Their sound is a masterclass in gritty electric riffs, soaring vocal harmonies, and a thunderous rhythm section! MiTH loves these guys for how they bring intense rock energy and combine big covers with some seriously impressive original work. It's appropriate that they're named after apex predators. Seriously - you don’t want to miss this.
*19h40 – Lotshiwe MaTshabalala Cele*
Lotshiwe Tshabalala is an independent soul and reggae artist based in Pietermaritzburg. Her love for music is indescribable; music is everything. Her musical journey started at a very young age. She sang in church and school choirs, and decided to learn the guitar at the age of 19. She has since had the opportunity to perform at many venues across KZN, including markets, festivals, and even the Conversing Kingdoms One Woman Poetry Show by Luleka Mhlanzi. She also curates and organises festivals with Undivided Roots, and plays with an all-female band that promotes the magic of women. She has also worked on an award-winning tuberculosis-awareness film with Oros Mampofu. Lotshiwe is currently working on an EP covering all the experiences she has endured in life through melody. She will be accompanied by Heaven Khwezi Cele on drums, Nompumelelo Zikode on bass and Rainbow Cele on keys serving up beautiful melodies and grooves to keep you on your feet.
