Deaf Poets (USA)

Originally hailing from Miami, fuzz rock duo Deaf Poets are a tour de force in the making. Their recent relocation to New York has enabled this two-piece to bring their psychedelic influence to life in hard-hitting ways. And the release of their latest EP "Change & Bloom" is a testament to this new path. With countless live shows under their belt, and a 'Best Band of Miami' award in 2015, Deaf Poets are ready to tear up the stage at this year's That 70's Fest.

Runaway Nuns

Cape Town's very own garage punk pioneers take their cue from the formidable old-school artists they look up to by crafting an invincible sound. This group redefines what it means to rock out hard, and with power tracks like 'Alright Now' and 'Stop Kidding Yourself', they're not planning on forgoing that title anytime soon. Expect to let go and let loose as these high-energy revellers merrily make their That 70's Fest debut.

The Tazers

Dive deep into the swirling riffs and killer fuzz tones of another era as Joburg-based three-piece The Tazers take you on a wild journey through time and space. This psychedelic trio has undoubtedly made their mark as local revival kings following the success of their EP "Love Machine" and an everlasting record of spirited, feel-good live performances. Join The Tazers at this year's That 70's Fest by lapping up the catchy melodies and groovy antics that this rock outfit always delivers.

Tidal Waves

As one of SA's most beloved multi-lingual musical groups, Tidal Waves will offer this year's 70's Fest an exceptional new flair with their soulful melodies and groovy rhythm structures. Their humble and uplifting brand of 'original music for original people' represents the very essence this festival encapsulates: peace, love, and rock 'n' roll. You'll find yourself swaying in no time as you ride the rock-reggae wave this group undoubtedly masters. Dig in!

Ruff Majik

Ruff Majik is a no-holds-barred three-piece from Pretoria that have breathed new life into the stoner-sludge rock genre. And after touring abroad, this power trio is itching to make their 70's Fest return. Festival attendees can expect wild stage antics, fuzz riffs of epic proportions, and an overpowering amount of headbanging. That 70's Fest is proud to welcome Ruff Majik back for another mighty round of heavy rock 'n' roll.

Yndian Mynah

As an instrumental four-piece outfit, Yndian Mynah relies on alternating time structures, sweeping crescendos, and quiet contemplative interludes to drive their sonic poeticism forward. They'll be injecting this year's festival with their sublime brand of ambient post rock. Be sure to welcome this Capetonian act to the paisley-patterned stage as Yndian Mynah ring in their first-ever That 70's Fest performance.

Deadly Bites

Get ready to ride an explosive wave with Deadly Bites, a garage rock band from Joburg whose music packs a mighty punch. Nod your head along to the undulating flow of their unique sound as it transitions from surf rock and psychedelic textures to extraterrestrial-punk noise. This group is no stranger to the local gig circuit, and have in recent months bolstered their live performances with the laudable addition of a fourth band member.

Mouse

Try not to break your neck as Mouse, a two-piece rock outfit hailing from the shores of Durban, transport all your sensory devices to another dimension. This duo has been spewing their own brand of transcendental fuzz since 2015. They've performed all over the country, sonically dismantling whatever stage they find themselves on. Their self-proclaimed 'heavy and experimental' sound is brutally unapologetic, making Mouse a thunderous addition to this year's pool of artists.

Groucho

Take a trip to the seaside with Groucho, a budding surf rock band from the streets of Johannesburg. With their tongue-in-cheek humour and easy-listening tunes, these newcomers set the bar as one of the top must-see acts this year. Their sound is raw and pleasantly unabashed - an assured cure to those looking for a hangover fix.

Bad Ass Execs

Let the good times roll right in as The Bad Ass Execs ease you into a set filled to the brim with foot-stomping tracks. What started off as an audio representation of a visual art project has bloomed into what the group offer in their live performances today. Follow the trail of their enthusiasm as this Johannesburg-based group show you a rockin' good time.

Scramblers

If you're looking for emotive, transcendent music then look no further than the Johannesburg-based four-piece, Scramblers. Their sound is heavily influenced by prominent rock artists like Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - and the impact certainly shows. With strong vocals and enchanting, reverberated guitars, this group's performance promises to captivate your heart and mind.

Shackles & Bones

This incomparable trio is coming up to a decade of playing their feel-good, funky music across South Africa. Shackles and Bones' sound is distinctly explorative as it moves between jazz-inspired melodies and soulful singing to groovy basslines and gritty rock 'n' roll. Their genre bending is effortless, and each one of their tracks follows its own narrative where new stories or memories are shared in song. As such, this three-piece can appeal to more than one kind of listener, ensuring head bops all round!
