Following the success of the southernmost House of Vans event in Cape Town this March, Johannesburg was selected to host a bumper weekend of music, art, street culture and skateboarding. The event was part of Vans’ anniversary celebrating 50 Years “Off The Wall”.
Music acts included: Stilo Magolide, Kid X, Youngsta, Speedsta, Maphorisa, Bye Beneco, Al Bairre, Sol Gems and The Make-Overs. This was accompanied by commissioned art installations by South African artists: Black Koki, Danielle Clough and Tyrone Ping. The Pro Classic skate event introduced a newly built skate obstacle, which pays homage to a classic Johannesburg skate spot that is a tip-of-the-hat adaptation to the infamous Angle Banks on Loveday Street, one of Johannesburg’s most unique and iconic natural street spots.
