5FM remains a loyal supporter of the local music industry and continues to playlist songs from local artists and bands that are relevant to the station. Live music is a keen driver in the lifestyle choices of our listeners and 5FM has, over a period of more than ten years, offered live music as part of its programming line-up. 5FM is excited to introduce its latest live music feature called 5LIVE. The feature will allow the 5FM audience a front-row seat into a live musical journey with top music performers. The feature showcases a live music act in studio on the last Friday of every month from 15:00 – 16:00 on the Rob Forbes Show, proudly hosted by Redbull Studios Cape Town. 5LIVE will feature and highlight a cross spectrum of South African bands and musicians on a monthly basis on a very intimate yet powerful level.
