Since the 5th of May 2015, a battle has been taking place every Tuesday night. What are we talking about? It’s the Battle of the Bands, at the Quay 4 Tavern, in the V&A Waterfront. If you’re seeking entertainment of a different kind, why not check this event out? You get the chance to find out about new and upcoming bands on the pop/rock/blues scene and at the same time you get the opportunity to see and hear them at their best since they will definitely be doing all they can to progress through every round until the finale. Bands have been coming from all over the Western Cape to compete for the signing of a 3-month contract with Quay 4 and R20 000 courtesy of Castle Lager, among other prizes.

Who knows? You could become one of the latest fans of one of these up-and-coming bands and you could follow them all the way to the finale, which takes place on Tuesday, the 25th of August! On the other hand, when these bands make it big, you’ll have a wealth of new music to add to your collection. In what is sure to be an explosive ending to this competition, you’ll be sure to enjoy an entertaining evening.

An added highlight to this event is its location in the heart of the exquisite V&A Waterfront. What more could you ask for?

What Will You Need?

You’ll be pleased to know it will cost you nothing to watch the bands battle it out, but, of course, there is the cost of dining at the Quay 4 Tavern. This stylish establishment with close views of the boats and yachts of the harbour offers an enticing menu featuring scrumptious seafood and tasty burgers. With indoor and outdoor seating, guests can indulge in these appetising dishes while enjoying the view of the harbour as well as the live entertainment on offer.

Don’t Forget What Else You Can Do at the V&A Waterfront

Of course, while you might come to watch the Battle of the Bands, if you’d like to spare yourself the rush of getting there (as well as the search for a comfortable seat from which to watch), you could always come early. You need not fear that you will be bored since there is so much to do at the V&A Waterfront! For those staying in the V&A Waterfront Marina or neighbouring areas such as the Cape Town City Bowl, Sea Point and Green Point, Cape Town’s number 1 tourist attraction easily provides the perfect day out with its wealth of things to do.

Besides the many restaurants you can explore, the V&A Waterfront has something for all ages. Families could go on a visit to the Two Oceans Aquarium with its stunning array of marine animals or on a relaxing train ride with beautiful sights through a section of the V&A Waterfront with the Art of the Brick Train. You could go on a scenic boat cruise with even more views around the V&A Waterfront as well as the harbour. Then there is all the free live entertainment offered in and around the amphitheatre just outside of the Victoria Wharf Shopping Centre, where you can get firsthand experience of South Africa’s rich heritage of native music. Let’s not forget the 450 stores that are available in and around the Victoria Wharf Shopping Centre, offering products that are tailored for all who visit the V&A Waterfront. For those interested in some history, the Chavonnes Battery Museum is the place to be where you can find out all about how the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront began and how it developed to the present day.
