The Parlotones video shoot parade in the city of JHB

The Parlotones and their Production Company (Mushroom Productions) are planning a major farewell shoot for their fans in a parade format the night before the farewell concert at Ellis Park Arena. The band will start the Parade at Mary Fitzgerald Square on 11 January at 23h00 (gathering point) and end at Ellis Park on 12 January at 00h30. We will be shooting a video and broadcasting the Parade live to the worlds media.

The concept of the video is the brain child of Eban Olivier a long time collaborator with the band and promises to be a spectacle in itself. The video shoot for the brand new single “shake it up” will be the start of what is the bands last weekend in South Africa for a while and will be released by the time the band lands in Los Angeles. The concept will see the band performing on the back of a huge truck with convoys of fans in tow. The procession will kick off at May Fitzgerald Square and end at Ellis Park Arena where the official farewell concert will be held on the 12th of January.
We call on all friends and fans of the band to dress up, get your car, bike or skate board and come and join us to shoot and be part of the shoot as we make our way through the streets of Johannesburg with our 20+ cameramen along the route as well as in helicopters, shoot this amazing and fitting farewell to South Africa’s legends The Parlotones.
