An array of South Africa’s premier music stars have signed up to sing at the Making a Difference 4 Haiti Benefit Concert at Carnival City on Sunday, 21 March. The country’s musicians have opened their hearts and donated their time to raise funds for the victims of the January earthquake that devastated the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince.

The public can look forward to seeing some of today’s most cutting-edge acts sharing a stage with a selection of the familiar faces and voices who have shaped the local music scene over the years. While drawn from a cross-section of music genres and styles, these artists are united in their desire to help, in whatever small way possible, the destitute, injured, hungry and desperate citizens of Haiti.


The artists who have already been confirmed to perform at the M.A.D. 4 Haiti concert are:
