Lido Fest

The event will take place on the 28th of November 2009. There will be three stages and artists across several musical genres, from hip-hop to very heavy metal bands. There are expected to be in excess of 25 artists performing. The 3rd stage will shut down at 20:00 so that we may focus on the very generous, well known South Africa artists that will grace the other stages for extended sets.

Due to the non-profit nature of the event, none of our artists will be performing for a fee. This show will expose the true nature of the artists and their intent and desire to give back to the communities that support them though the thick and thin.

The project to which the event is dedicated is called “One Golden Thread”. Previously, funds generated by this event have gone to charities such as CHOC, and needy individuals.

This particular event serves to highlight the threat that cancer poses to children, with two specific cases being brought to attention. The first is that of 11-month-old Reef who, at the age of five months, was diagnosed with leukemia and had his first bone marrow transplant on the 8th of September, 2009. The other case is that of little Michael Steyn, who has been diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis and urgently needs a new liver. All funds generated will be going to Michael Steyn and there will be a platelet donation drive for little Reef.

Hosted by the great Gordon Laws!
