Rise Against band profile and Gig information

EXCITING NEWS! 

Tonight this pioneering punk rock band will shed and shred the stages of our home town, Durban South Africa. It is with great excitement that we await the arrival of this influential and controversial band. 

Where: Gateway theatre of shopping, Durban, South Africa

When: 15 March 2013

What: RAMfest 

RAMfest - South Africa's ULTIMATE Rock Festival!

5 cities! 5 days! 7 stages! Local and international artists!

Where 10's of thousands of screaming fans converge to create a raucous spectacle of sound, light, dance and rock n roll.

South Africa has seen a great influx of international artists over the past few years and it is with open arms that we welcome a couple more foreigners into our humble city. The 031 has seen some great concerts despite the Sum 41 riots of distressed rockers without a cause. A slight drizzle and the band decided they would not play which naturally ended in chaos and violence. The last thing I remember is getting hit in the head with a bin and waking up at Burn wanting my money back. Lets hope this time, things go down better. Its wonderful to see such a fierce line up which is guaranteed to leave you with a couple bruises, a hangover and the memories of your well spent money. If you haven't already bought your tickets, I suggest you start digging through those couch cushions, stealing your moms car guard money and emptying your purse because this is one concert that is not to be missed!

Line up:

• Rise Against
• Bring Me the Horizon
• Low profile
