The 2019/2020 lineup will kick off with Crimson House who will be launching their Bounceology album, the show promises to deliver a sensational mix of afro-balkan, gypsy blues and cabaret rock. Newcomers to KBrocks – Southern Wild will open the stage for Crimson house with their alternative rock shifting between rock, neo-soul and folk.
This inaugural show leads the way for a diverse range of exceptional artistes such as Jo Black, Craig Lucas, Paxton Fielies, Black Motion, Amanda Black, Kwesta, Sjava, Prince Kaybee, Sho Madjozi, Shekinah, Unathi and hip-hop sensation AKA - who is taking to the Kirstenbosch stage for the first time.

In addition to this, a special New Year’s Eve concert is scheduled with performances from Freshlyground, who will be joined by Nomadic Orchestra and Native Young. This will be the last time that Freshlyground will be playing together and promises a not to be forgotten end to 2019.
On 22 March 2020, a fresh new addition has been added to Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concerts lineup – The Cape Town Opera starring Pumeza Matshikiza, who has won the hearts of audience members in the world’s great opera houses (including London, Milan and Paris).
This summer, Capetonians will have a rare opportunity to hear Matshikiza on home soil for an evening of gorgeous classical and African arias and duets, with the Cape Town Opera Chorus and the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Maestro Jeremy Silver.
