Bassline

Johannesburg


Jo'burg's most respected live-music venue gained prominence as a Melville jazz haunt in the late '90s before getting the world-music tip and relocating to Newtown in 2004. Today it covers the full range of international musicianship and more-popular reggae, rock and hip-hop styles.

It also organises major concerts at other venues around the city and runs the annual Bassline Africa Day and Fête de la Musique music festivals.
