Future Radio Brings the Breakout Tour to Potch - 17 July

Future Radio, the forward-thinking rock duo from South Africa, is heading to Potchefstroom for a one-night-only gig at The Texas Bar. Entry is free, the doors swing open early, and if past shows are anything to go by, the amps will be cranked up and the crowd won’t leave quietly.

What to Expect on the Night

The show kicks off at 20:00 sharp, so best get there early unless you enjoy the sound of a band starting without you. Entry is free, and yes, you read that right, so there’s really no excuse not to pitch up. Grab a cold one, order one of those massive burgers they’re famous for, and settle in for some no-nonsense live music.

The Texas Bar, located at 82 Steve Biko Street, has developed something of a reputation: beers the size of your face, burgers that require both hands and a battle plan, and a staff known for being as cheeky as they are quick with the drinks. It’s also quietly becoming one of the more solid spots for emerging rock artists to cut their teeth.

Who Are Future Radio?

Future Radio is made up of vocalist/guitarist Johnny Lategan and guitarist/visual artist Drikus Roets. Together, they’ve coined their style as “future rock” a blend of alternative, punk, and riff rock with a visual twist. Each song is more than just a tune; it’s part of a bigger story. Think of it like Netflix for your ears, except with louder guitars and less chill.

Their shows combine music and visuals into themed episodes that build over time into full “seasons”. It’s concept rock, but not the kind that disappears into its own artistic abyss. These guys are storytellers as much as they are musicians – and they’re not afraid to crank the volume while they’re at it.
