Smokie & CCR Tribute Live at Café Barcelona

Step back into the golden age of rock with A Tribute to Smokie & Creedence Clearwater Revival, live at Café Barcelona on Friday, 29 May. Doors open at 17:00 and the show starts at 19:00, giving you time to settle in, order your favourites and get ready for a night packed with timeless 1970s hits.

Performed by Gareth James, this feel-good tribute concert celebrates two legendary bands whose songs still get crowds singing decades later. Smokie fans can look forward to sing-along classics like Living Next Door to Alice, Mexican Girl and Needles and Pins, while Creedence Clearwater Revival lovers can relive swamp-rock anthems such as Proud Mary, Bad Moon Rising and Have You Ever Seen the Rain.

The show is built for music lovers who want more than background entertainment. Expect warm vocals, familiar guitar lines, nostalgic storytelling and the kind of songs that turn a table of friends into a chorus. Whether you grew up with these records, discovered them through family road trips, or simply love classic rock with heart, this tribute brings the spirit of Smokie and CCR to life in an intimate Pretoria setting.

Make it a Friday night out with friends, a relaxed date night or a memorable treat for parents who still know every lyric. Café Barcelona’s cosy live-music atmosphere makes it the ideal place to enjoy dinner, drinks and a concert without the fuss of a big arena.

Tickets are available through Quicket, and classic-rock fans should book early to secure their seats.
