Fokofpolisiekar gears up for #supersick17th livestream birthday bash
The setlist, which was released earlier this week on their social media platforms, will include a career spanning performance from 2003 to 2020.
Their 16th birthday was celebrated with a show at Loftus, Pretoria, with 4 000 attendees. A career highlight for the group. But during the pandemic, their 17th birthday celebrations were cut down to a livestream show. Albeit one to remember, according to the band members.
‘No better time than now’ for fans across the globe
“It has been a shock to the system, and we had to quickly come up with new ideas to keep the pot cooking. People across the globe have been asking us to consider a livestream show and there is no better time than now and no better reason than the band turning 17 years old,’’ said Wynand Myburgh, according to BizCommunity.
The group took to social media, celebrating with fans. Comedian Schalk Bezuidenhout also joined in on the fun, even posting a video of himself singing to one of the group’s most famous hits, Ek Skyn (Heilig).

“We are busy working on new tracks and we might even throw a new one into the set,” said Johnny de Ridder.
Jaco “Snakehead” Venter added: “This is the one Fokof show that you do not want to miss. If you have never seen us live, not seen us play in years, are a regular at our shows and miss it, or are living outside South Africa, make sure to livestream this show.
“Tune in from wherever and celebrate with us.”
