The Staccatos: Pioneers of South African Rock and proudly South Africa’s longest-running band, are celebrating an incredible 65 years of music, memories, and live entertainment.
Fans can relive the magic of the band's record-breaking hit “Cry to Me”, recorded in 1968 and a monumental success that spent an unprecedented 38 weeks on the Springbok Radio Hit Parade in 1969—a record for both local and international hits.
This special anniversary show promises an unforgettable musical journey, showcasing Staccatos favourites alongside timeless classics performed with the energy, passion, and professionalism that have made the band a household name. Audiences can look forward to an engaging atmosphere with audience participation and a celebration of the magic of live music.
The show features hits from legendary artists including Roy Orbison, The Monkees, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR), The Archies, Neil Diamond, Michael Bolton, The Animals, The Doobie Brothers, Elvis Presley, Status Quo, Glenn Frey, Bob Seger, and, of course, South Africa’s own beat band, The Staccatos.
Packed with nostalgia, timeless music, and memorable performances, this 65th anniversary celebration is a must-see event for music lovers of all ages.
