Mike and the Mechanics perform in Cape Town on 20 August 2013 at Grand Arena

567 Cape Talk and Famous Concerts proudly announce a one-night only Mike and the Mechanics performance in Cape Town on 20 August 2013, celebrating twenty-five years of the group’s massive hit, ‘The Living Years’.

The legendary English rockers will be live on stage at GrandWest Casino’s Grand Arena.

Mike Rutherford, a founding member of one of the most successful groups of all time, Genesis, formed Mike and the Mechanics in the eighties, creating a ‘side project’ that went on to sell over 10 million records worldwide.

This band, started initially as a project, has topped charts over the years with many other huge hits.

Besides the iconic Living Years’, other well-known songs  include ‘Silent Running’, ‘All I Need Is a Miracle’, ‘Word of Mouth’, ‘Over my Shoulder’ and ‘Beggar on a Beach of Gold’.

Cape Town audiences will be treated to these great songs and many other old favourites.

Mike and the Mechanics have long enjoyed a reputation as one of the world’s most-respected melodic contemporary rock bands. After the untimely and sad death of vocalist Paul Young, the group re-emerged, and leader Mike Rutherford started writing again.   The result is a new generation Mike and The Mechanics, featuring two new faces in the vocal department.

Come and be part of this memorable 25th anniversary celebration and enjoy a special evening of warm nostalgia and great music!   Tickets are available from Computicket.   Prices start at R285.

Mike and the Mechanics will also be appearing at Sun City (17 August) as part of the Harley-Davidson thirty-year anniversary in South Africa, and at Carnival City in Gauteng (18 August)
