If you’d like to get in on the performing, the Firestone Karaoke Kombi (#FirestoneKK) will convert a classic 1972 VW Brasília kombi and a brand Kombi into mobile karaoke studios. The Brasília kombi is host to the large catalogue of old-school songs, while its newer sibling features the best of new school karaoke songs. A team of audio technicians will record each performance and upload it to the internet, before sharing it via mobile message with the participants.

If music’s not your thing, the comedy stage will offer some laughs from the likes of Al Prodgers Comedy, KG Mokgadi, Glen Biderman Pam, Alfred Adriaan, Long John The Comedian, Nqoba ‘King Nqoba’ Ngcobo, and Dillan Oliphant.
