To spice things up this chilly season, the show is something never seen before on South African stages – a guitar super-group of earth-shattering proportions. The electrifying show will feature new songs, collaborations and even more instruments with a guitar super-group comprising of the massively talented Mel Botes, Piet Botha, Albert Frost, Robin Auld, Nathan Smith and guest artist, Mauritz Lotz.

Riders From The Storm is an initiative undertaken by rock guitarist Mel Botes (wearing his producer’s cap), who is renowned for his craftsmanship on the electric guitar, his interpretations of legendary rock works, his original compositions and, more recently, his classical repertoire.

The brief to the musicians was simple – each should contribute three compositions to the group’s performance in which that particular musician will play the lead guitar to accompaniment from the band. The musicians were given a choice of two original or two classic rock tunes. Furthermore, all the guitarists will contribute to four or five numbers where they will all perform together.

Riders from the Storm will start at 20h00 and tickets are R120 per person. Winners Circle discounts apply. A welcome improvement to the all-new Theatre of Marcellus is that it now offers guests vastly improved sightlines with plush, fixed seating for an enhanced show experience.

The new seating has increased capacity to over 1000 seats, complete with a VIP area for ultimate comfort. Tickets can be booked through the Emperors Palace Box Office on 011 928 1297/1213, through www.emperorspalace.com or through www.computicket.com.
