Culture unite

This weekend sees the launch of Tomorrowland Unite; a live streaming event of Belgium's legendary music festival taking place in seven cities across the world. We chat to Lloyd Cornwall, the man behind the scene of the SA event, to find out more.

In other top story news Terry Levin reviews Andrew Buckland's play, 'The Inconvenience of Wings'; Anna-Bet reports back on world wine news; and I review J-Bay backpackers and lodge, Surf Lodge South Africa.

Yay, we've got new comps for you - tickets to Dan Patlansky at Emperors Palace and the new music festival, Bokjol, are up for grabs!
