“JOLTYD – Through the Ages of Music”, a production by Cape Town’s beloved Loukmaan Adams takes centre stage at the Pam Golding Theatre, Baxter from 29 November 2024 until 3 January 2025.
The musical celebration, JOLTYD, captures the true essence of the festive season, specifically in the Mother City, which is filled with warmth, humour, and nostalgic music from the past. This exact experience of the final stretch of the year is what has inspired Loukman and his team to introduce us to JOLTYD. Co-director, Basil Appollis shared his enthusiasm about the show: “Cape Town becomes the festive hub at this time of year. There’s an energy—it’s almost like a drug. The entertainment has to be as exciting as what the beach and mountain offer, and with JOLTYD, we’ve created something that matches that magic.”

From the electric rock ‘n roll of the ‘50s, the smooth Motown grooves, to the local flair of The Rockets and Mafikizolo, the show promises to take spectators on a journey through time.
“It’s not just about covers—it’s about moments. The song you heard when you were 14, the track that played when South Africa won the African Cup of Nations or the tune that defined your New Year’s Eve,” explains Loukman.
Expect the likes of Jarrad Ricketts, Loukmaan Adams, Kashifa Blouw, Xolisa Tom, and Mel Jones. In addition, Jarrad Ricketts joins the lineup as a celebrated singer-songwriter and performer known for his powerful vocals, as well as Tashreeq de Villiers, a rising star in the South African theatre and music scene. The house band will be led by acclaimed musical director, Charlton Daniels, who has worked extensively in the South African theatre scene.

Charlton Daniels adds: “This show is about more than just music—it’s about emotion, memory, and connection. We’re taking people on a musical journey through time, bringing every era alive with sound, light, and performance.”
In conclusion, Loukmaan Adams says, “It’s a dream come true to be doing this at the Pam Golding Theatre during the festive season. It’s overwhelming, exciting, and such a massive opportunity to bring something this big to life”.
