That’s right people, Gay pride is happening on the 2nd of October 2010. And it’s just been announced by the Pride Organisation that they have managed to bring out British pop-star DJ Sonique to our warm sunny shores for a guest appearance at the actual pride parade party but most and foremost for their Official Pride after party, to be held at our world class Standard bank Arena on the same Saturday just in the evening of the 21st annual Johannesburg Pride parade and day.
Tickets already went on sale at Computicket for this event and are available for a minimum charge R56 including Computicket fees and VIP tickets are limited to the first 500 and I am one of those 1st 500 people for a price of R100. These are not available from Computicket rather you should call 082 567 8894 to book as there are so few.
How did this come about?
Sonique has been brought to us by a new energy drink Cintron Liquid Energy and the Pride Organisation wanted to bring back the official after party experience some of the older members of the community will remember back to the pride march. Over the last few years there hasn’t been an Official pride after party leaving room for other event organisers to try their hand at hosting such an event and one never caters for all. There is something for the men something for the women, people travel to Boksburg’s Ramps ,The Dome for the Fire mans ball and Pretoria to where they host there after party, But this year we have the chance to unit under one roof again to re- bump into the people we met doing the march or on a float. Never mind the person who let you slip into their spot at the bar, as they leave.
I am too excited for this event as I was one of the people who has had the joy of experiencing an old after party and this is the first time that I am aware of that they have brought us someone who can appeal to the entire Lesbian, Gay, Bi and trans-sexual community.
DJ Sonique has been a part of my memories since I can remember with hits like “Fly so high” and “It feels so good.”And I am just too excited to see her, to hear her live mixing up her beats and singing.
DJ Sonique who has previously visited the country will be supported by two dancers and a line up of South African DJ’s, this to me sounds like it’s going to be a rocking evening.
For those of you who haven’t purchased your tickets do it now. It’s going to be a night to remember for a very long time, until the Joburg pride organisation out does themselves again. Buy those tickets with less than a month till Pride. Make sure you’re not left wondering where to go and why you couldn’t go see this Award winning British pop-star Live here in South Africa.
