Prime Circle 25th Anniversary Live at Walter Sisulu

Prime Circle 25th Anniversary is more than just a tour—it’s also a celebration of a quarter-century of unforgettable moments, devoted fans, and proud South African rock history.

In fact, for bassist Marco Gomes and the band, this milestone not only marks their enduring success, but also stands as a testament to years of passion and music. Ultimately, it signifies a legacy built on dedication and the powerful bond they share with their audience.

“This milestone means a lot to us, because it’s 25 years of music, memories, and amazing support from our fans. This tour is one big celebration, made unique by the friends who will be joining us along the way. For most dates (not all), we’ll be sharing the stage with Tree63 and Lee Cole.”

From Radio Play to Global Stages

From first hearing their single on the radio to eventually stealing the spotlight in Germany, Prime Circle’s journey is truly a masterclass in South African rock history.

Along the way, there were even surreal encounters—such as meeting Train’s Pat Monahan after Marco’s wedding and then having him backstage just days later. Undoubtedly, these stories effectively capture the heart behind the music.

“Hearing our song on the radio for the first time, that never gets old. Later, touring internationally was massive. We were supposed to support a band at their album launch in Germany and ended up stealing the show. That was when we realised we could do this on a global stage. I’ll never forget meeting Pat Monahan from Train. We’d just gotten married and used Train’s ‘Marry Me’ in our wedding. Two days later, we bumped into him at the airport in Berlin, invited him to our show and he came! Next thing, he’s hanging backstage with us and Cedar. That was surreal.”

Prime Circle 25th Anniversary : Eyes on the Future

Although nostalgia runs deep at this milestone, Prime Circle is enthusiastically looking to the future. Not only can fans anticipate exciting new music, but they can also look forward to a stirring ballad that reflects on growth and the courage to move on with hope and honesty. As a result, the next chapter for the band promises to be both meaningful and unforgettable.

“We’ve got a strong ballad lined up. The heart of the song is about growth and when two people realise they’re better moving on, but without bitterness. It’s honest, emotional, and powerful. We want to release something meaningful for this milestone, not just a party track.”

~ Marco Gomes

Meanwhile, a symphonic rock dream still remains on the horizon for Prime Circle, as the band continues to aspire to a bucket-list orchestral show with the renowned Johannesburg Philharmonic.

“For years we’ve wanted to perform with a full orchestra. Imagine Prime Circle with the Johannesburg Philharmonic in a proper symphonic rock show. That’s still a dream we want to make happen.”

~ Marco Gomes
