The Dirty Skirts: Beach Party at The Brass Bell, Kalk Bay

Dust off the salt and prep your dancing shoes—Cape Town’s indie-rock royalty is heading to the water’s edge.

After a decade-long hiatus that left a massive void in the South African alternative scene, The Dirty Skirts are officially back and louder than ever. This isn’t just a nostalgia trip; following the success of their 2023 EP Radiant Clouds, the band is charging into 2026 with a fresh arsenal of brand-new music and a live energy that has only sharpened with time.

This is more than a gig—it’s a full-blown beach party at the iconic Brass Bell. Expect the crashing waves of the Atlantic to provide the percussion for the searing riffs and fuzzy basslines of a band that has commanded main stages from Oppikoppi to SXSW in Texas.

The Dirty Skirts have spent their career redefining the South African sound. With a SAMA win for Best Alternative Album and a history of sharing stages with international heavyweights like Oasis, Snow Patrol, and Evanescence, to name a few, they bring a world-class pedigree to the intimate, salt-sprayed stage of Kalk Bay.

Whether you caught them at Rocking the Daisies a decade ago or you’re discovering their revitalized sound for the first time, this show is a rare chance to see indie-rock titans in their natural element.

“The revolution didn’t end; it just went to the beach. See you at the Bell.”
