After Dark: ISO and Retro Dizzy Special Events

The Two Oceans Aquarium, together with entertainment website Texx and the City, are joining forces once again to host their second stripped down series of events this winter featuring some of the Mother City’s finest bands.

Over three nights in June, July and August 2023, the viewing area in front of the I&J Ocean Exhibit will be transformed into a cozy, living room-style setting where you’ll be able to enjoy two bands on each evening. There really is no better or more beautiful backdrop for any event.

Doors open at 18h30 sharp, so come early before the music starts at 20h00 and explore the Two Ocean Aquarium when the lights are low!

July's After Dark promises to be a treat, with the eclectic sounds of South African progressive rock pioneers ISO, and the psychedelic rock of local Retro Dizzy.
