American folkstars The Lumineers kicked off their first South African visit with two sold out shows at Kirstenbosch<\/a> last week. Here are some photos from their Thursday<\/a> performance – a truly enjoyable night.<\/p>\n

Once you’re inside, Kirstenbosch botanical gardens<\/a> is such a lovely venue<\/a>, however the concerts there<\/a> always have a major<\/a> impact on traffic<\/a>, and the drive up from town was no fun at all. Further frustrations on Thursday included the power outage resulting in all the ticket offices having to wait for generators to kick in and bring their systems back online, as well as the Lumineers’ extended soundcheck which meant waiting in a super long queue outside the concert area.<\/p>\n

Eventually however the gates opened and the masses streamed in. By the time I walked in the hill overlooking the stage was already crammed near to bursting.<\/p>\n
