How to Book:
PREMIUM SEATED
On the seating plan, just click on your chosen table and, one by one, buy the seats you require at that table (NB: if you don’t buy all the seats on that table, others may buy and sit with you). If you can’t get the table configuration you want and end up booking seats on different tables as a result, please do so under the same email address and we’ll automatically put you together on one table. In fact, any seats booked under the same email address we will assume are together but, if this is not the case, (or if you are booking with friends under different email addresses), just let us know and we’ll make a plan to seat you together. If the event appears sold-out, or you want to add to an existing booking, the same applies - just drop us an email to [email protected] and we’ll do our best to make a plan!
If you struggle with the booking or online payment process, or want to swap tables, we can’t help with that - so please contact Quicket on [email protected] and they will. If you can’t make the show and want to try to resell your tickets, please make use of Quicket’s secondary ticket sale option online - or let us know and we’ll try to sell your tickets on the door.
GRASS TICKETS
Simply choose your spot and buy anything from 2 to 4 tickets as you would do when booking a table. Each grass spot has its own drinks tray and is numbered so the waiters will find you easily - and, no matter how many seats you choose, that spot remains yours! Want to be near your friends? Let us know on [email protected] and we'll do our best to put you together!
THE ARTIST
ARD matthews is a South African singer, songwriter, and celebrated artist whose voice and songwriting have left a profound impact on contemporary music. Known for defining an era as the frontman of the legendary rock band Just Jinjer, ARD burst onto the scene in the 1990s, steering the group toward record-breaking success with iconic tracks like “What He Means,” “Shallow Waters,” and “She Knows.” Just Jinjer not only headlined the country’s largest festivals but also conquered international stages, achieving widespread recognition in both South Africa and the United States.
Yet, it’s ARD’s solo artistry that truly reveals the depth of his creative vision. In 2012, he stepped away from the band dynamic to release his debut solo album, First Offerings. The record exposed a more personal side of his songwriting, rich with introspective lyrics and stripped-back arrangements. In 2018, he followed up with the critically acclaimed Impossible Machines, a collection that earned him a prestigious South African Music Award and showcased his continued evolution as a musician. The album’s launch coincided with one of ARD’s most daring personal adventures—an Atlantic sailing journey from Cape Town to the Caribbean aboard his vessel, The Impossible Machine—underlining his penchant for bold, uncharted territory both musically and in life.
Today, ARD continues to captivate audiences whether fronting Just Jinjer’s electrifying sets or stepping into the spotlight alone. His solo performances are intimate affairs, weaving unforgettable melodies with heartfelt narratives, leaving fans feeling deeply connected and emotionally moved long after the show ends. It’s in these solo moments that his storytelling comes fully alive, revealing new layers of artistry and authenticity at every turn.
One of ARD’s most exciting current projects is his partnership with drummer Jude Kenrick in the ARD matthews Duo. Over a decade in the making, their collaboration has evolved into a musical force that deftly blends ARD’s soulful vocals and guitar work with Kenrick’s dynamic percussion. Their chemistry on stage brings ARD’s entire discography into fresh focus. From the timeless hits of Just Jinjer to his introspective solo tracks, and even a selection of classic covers that span multiple eras and genres, the duo’s performances are a rich tapestry of sound, passion, and musical camaraderie. With ARD and Jude at the helm, audiences are treated not only to the power of beloved songs reimagined, but also to the joy of two artists in creative harmony, driving South African music forward into new and exhilarating territories.
DOORS OPEN AT 4:30PM, SHOW STARTS AT 5:30PM
