Van Coke Kartel Tour Coming in October and November 2012

Great News for SA Music fans! Just when you thought that things we’re going to slow down you hear the news that a Van Coke Kartel Tour is around the corner in October and November 2012!

Besides the fact they are kicking off the Van Coke Kartel tour, the band will also be one of two Afrikaans bands that will be part of Heineken Symphonic Rocks (which is set to take place on the 29th of September at Grand West in Cape Town and the 6th of October at Carnival City in Johannesburg). Van Coke Kartel and various other SA artists will be performing with a 65 piece symphonic orchestra at these concerts. Tickets are available via Computicket.

The Van Coke Kartel Chaos tour will be making its way to many cities in South Africa during the course of October 2012. The tour is brought to you by Jagermeister, Monster Energy and Music Connection. Catch these Afrikaans rockers (who are one of the best live acts ever) at these following venues for the tour:

The band will be celebrating their “‘Half a Decade” existence with a weeklong tour at the end of November 2012 and an extensive December 2012 Tour.
