If sipping wine by the ocean while listening to incredible live music sounds like your ideal Friday evening, mark 2 May 2025 on your calendar.
That’s when RAAF—yes, the artists formerly known as Bottomless Coffee Band—are touching down in Hermanus for a one-night-only concert at the stunning Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate.
What’s the vibe? Think golden-hour vineyard views, kids playing Pirate Golf, adults swirling glasses of Shiraz, and the unmistakable hum of good food and even better music.
- Doors swing open at 16:00, with the show kicking off at 18:00 sharp. Tickets? A very doable R250 per adult and R150 per child. Bring the whole crew.
RAAF is rolling in with their signature sound—a blend of blues, rock, and honest-to-goodness South African soul. They’ll be performing tracks from their new album, PREDIKER, plus a few crowd favorites you’ll probably find yourself singing on the way home.
And let’s talk food (because, priorities):
Before the first chord is even struck, you’ll want to wander over to Moody Lagoon for a gourmet bite. Their seasonal menu pairs beautifully with Benguela Cove’s award-winning wines, and if sitting down feels too slow-paced, grab a gourmet picnic to enjoy on the lawns. It’s laid-back luxury at its finest.
Not just a concert—an entire day out:
Arrive early and turn it into a full-blown outing. Here’s the cheat sheet:
-
Wine Tastings: Because you’re in the heart of wine country, after all.
-
Pirate Golf: 18 holes of pure family fun (and yes, adults get competitive too).
-
Art Gallery: A relaxed wander through local and international works.
-
Brunch, Lunch, or Both: Moody Lagoon is open for feasting, with family-style lunches and dreamy brunches on public holidays and weekends.
Whether you’re a die-hard RAAF fan or just in it for the wine and views, this is one of those Hermanus evenings you’ll be talking about until next summer.
Snag your tickets now and prepare to toast to a night of music, magic, and Merlot.
