YOUR LMG - Cape Town's Live Music Gig Guide

LMG stands for LIVE. MUSIC. GUIDE.

Established in March 2008, as a “street press”-style print magazine, it is still the only one that caters solely to the live music scene in Cape Town and Stellenbosch areas. (Stay tuned for plans regarding expansion to other areas)

The centre-piece of YOUR LMG is a comprehensive and up-to-date monthly gig guide.

YOUR LMG contains an exciting mix of editorial content, covering multi-genre band interviews, gig reviews and previews, Up n Coming band profiles, industry news and views, think pieces and guest writer columns. No other publication tells it like YOUR LMG does!

YOUR LMG contributors comprise some of the most respected names in the SA music press.

YOUR LMG is a FREE magazine, paid for by advertising and corporate branding.

YOUR LMG is delivered directly into the hands of its target market.

YOUR LMG is available at over 150 locations around the Cape Peninsula - wherever live music lovers gather (music venues, festivals, backpackers, hostels, independent music and clothing stores, music equipment retailers, selected bars; live music venues and cafes.)

YOUR LMG has an almost 100% (95% confirmed!) pick-up rate.

YOUR LMG features a monthly “pull-out” poster / Gig Guide featuring over 300 hand-picked gigs per month.

5 000 copies printed every month, with “sharing” of copies creating a readership of approximately 20 000.

YOUR LMG is endorsed by Cape Town Tourism and distributed via their network.

While other free, street-press music magazines exist, YOUR LMG stands apart from the crowd for the following reasons:

YOUR LMG focuses purely on the live music scene, enabling us to gather a level of information that other publications and websites miss or just don’t consider.

YOUR LMG is today a brand that is easily recognised and that has credibility with the live music market and within the greater South African music industry.

YOUR LMG steadfastly supports the grass-roots musician and provides coverage to bands and artists other publications wouldn’t touch

YOUR LMG’s website reflects a drive to keep lovers of live music as up to date as possible as to what is happening in their town.

YOUR LMG’s track record shows a growth and perseverance for new, fresh material bar none.
