THE PLATFORM:Striped Horse Beats for Tomorrow is a series of events through which we will be presenting exciting South African talents as they journey towards tomorrow. We recognise this new generation of culture-builders in Mzansi, and not only honour them with a beer brewed specially for them, but want to give rise to their voices, their sounds, and their thirst for tomorrow. Kicking off at Flame Studios in Johannesburg on the last Thursday of April, the intimate, yet inspiring setting coupled with ice-cold Striped Horse beer is all the reason to keep in touch and find out how to obtain a much sought-after ticket.
