The Back 2 The Old Skool International Music Festival scheduled to take place this Saturday 27 May 2017 at the Wanderers Rugby Fields Illovo, has been moved to a new venue – Huddle Park Golf and Recreation Linksfield – and will now take place a week later on Saturday 3 June.

The decision to move the event was taken jointly by the promoters Jazz Foundation & Global Event Entertainment, The Wanderers Club and Emergency Management Services due to concerns around venue capacity and the environmental impact on the neighbouring communities.

Tickets purchased for the event will be valid for the festival next week, or alternatively ticket holders can get a full refund from Computicket.

“We hope the move to the new venue and date does not inconvenience fans, but believe the decision to do so was prudent and we look forward to an amazing festival,” said promoter Deon Mama.
