Hell's Kitchen

Start the night at Melville's unapologetic rock-and-roll den. It’s dark, loud, and serves excellent local craft beers alongside a signature cinnamon whiskey shot that sets the right high-energy tone for the evening.

La Santa Muerte

Just a few doors down, this edgy, Day of the Dead-themed joint serves up some of the best tacos and tequila in the city. It’s fast, incredibly flavorful, and provides the perfect carb-heavy foundation before you head to the mosh pit.

Marks Park Sports Club

The main event. Marks Park's open-air setting is legendary for big rock concerts, offering great acoustics under the Jozi night sky. Grab a drink, find your spot on the grass, and get ready for a heavy dose of nostalgia.

Kitcheners Carvery Bar

Keep the adrenaline going at South Africa's second-oldest pub, which transforms into a roaring indie and alternative dance floor by night. It’s delightfully unpretentious, packed with character, and the only correct place to dissect the gig over a cold lager.
