Johannesburg, May 20, 2024 — Cinema, the iconic South African band that defined the South African music scene of the 80s and 90s, is making a triumphant comeback! After three decades apart, original members— Mike Todd (guitar), Chris Frank (keyboards and bass), and Larry Rose (drums)—are teaming up with rising star vocalist Steven Nell and returning for an electrifying whirlwind nationwide tour.

The Journey Back in Time: Though Cinema’s history “My Kind of Girl,” catapulted them to household-name status. Over the following decade, they released six albums, achieved 8 Top 10 radio singles, and garnered numerous awards.

The Hits That Defined a Generation: From the haunting ballad “Stranger’s Again” (which topped the charts in South East Asia) to memorable tracks like “Inside and Out,” “Cynical Heart,” and “Dancing Away With My Heart,” Cinema’s music resonated with fans across South Africa and beyond. Their electric energy and powerful stage presence made them both a top “live” original act and a force to be reckoned with in clubs around the country.

The NOSTALGIA shows.

Cinema’s reunion shows promise heaps of nostalgia, high-octane performances, and a celebration of timeless original hits and unforgettable classics from the 80s and 90s .
