Feel the vibe with some real reggae music at the Bordienghuis Theatre in Wellington when Cape Town’s most-loved reggae band, The Riverstones pay tribute to reggae greats.


Come and enjoy some real reggae music at the Bordienghuis Theatre in Wellington on 8 March, when Cape Town’s most-loved reggae band, The Riverstones, pays tribute to reggae legends Bob Marley from Jamaica, UB40 from the UK and Eddy Grant from Guyana in its hit show, Reggae Night.

The band had the honour of supporting Ali Campbell’s UB40 during their South African tour in 2023.

The Riverstones, founded in 2006 by lead vocalist Roland Geoffrey Nair, who made his stage debut at age 12, also perform internationally with their energetic, skanking, joyful, old-school reggae sound, promoting a message of “one love.”

During the 1980s the reggae scene flourished in South Africa, and Nair emerged as a pioneering figure alongside bands like Survival, Dread Warriors, Rapula and African Vibes in Johannesburg.

Roland had the privilege of performing with Bob Marley’s legendary band, The Wailers, in Cape Town in 2009.

His successful vocal performance led to an invitation to tour with Bunny Wailer during a Reunion Island tour. Roland performed in 15 countries to crowds of 75 000, sharing the stage with The Wailers.

Roland has shared stages with artists like PJ Powers, Hugh Masekela and Lucky Dube.

Tickets are R180 per person and can be booked with Jeannine: 061 156 5386. Doors open 17:30pm when wood fired pizzas will be on sale as well as wine and other drinks.

The show starts at 19:30.
