I’m so glad that once again those in Cape Town who weren’t heading to Oppikoppi<\/a> were given the chance to see the festival’s international headliners on one night at Grand West casino, and this year those headliners were Manchester Orchestra, Yellowcard and the epic Deftones.<\/p>\n

\"Deftones\"<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\"Yellowcard\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Unlike last year, when the lineup included a bunch of local acts<\/a>, the second One Night In Cape Town featured just the three American acts; first up just after 7pm were Manchester Orchestra.<\/p>\n

I’m not a big fan of theirs but was glad to see that even though the crowd was sparse it seemed to be made up of a bunch of legit fans. People were calling out their song requests and one even screamed really enthusiastically ‘you’re better than Deftones!’ to which there were a few cheers of agreement.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
