Mitchell Duval Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 So, I'm going to the World Cup in South Africa next month--soccer, music, and good food being the things that keep my world turning--and I'm interested in catching some live bands. I'll mostly be staying in the Johannesburg area but will probably be making side trips to Cape Town and Durban. Are any of you beautiful people familiar with the jazz/other-music scene in SA? Good clubs, venues, etc.? Also, is the crime in Johannesburg really as bad as they say it is, or is it a case of "don't go looking for trouble and it won't find you"? I don't want to be one of those nitwit tourists who won't go anywhere after dark because they're afraid of getting stabbed. Is it like, say, south side Chicago on a Friday night? Or more like mid-90s ninth-ward New Orleans? Or is it something else entirely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 The Green Dolphin on Capetown's Waterfront apparently has nightly jazz. No idea what it's like but it's a nice locale. Nothing was posted outside when I was there earlier this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
