Arno Carstens: Art & Music Live at café Roux - A Summer Outdoor Concert!

This December, Arno Carstens and his band return to café Roux for a late- afternoon experience that brings together sound and colour in one of Cape Town’s most loved creative spaces.

Set against the warm rhythm of summer, the show blends music and art in an outdoor setting; a chance to slow down, reconnect, and experience both the familiar and the new. The band will perform a mix of classic favourites and new material, while the venue itself transforms into a living gallery featuring Arno’s latest artworks from 2025, many of which will be on exhibit for the first time. café Roux, with its relaxed atmosphere and beautiful setting, provides the perfect backdrop for this creative celebration.

How to Book:

PREMIUM SEATED

On the seating plan, just click on your chosen table and, one by one, buy the seats you require at that table (NB: if you don’t buy all the seats on that table, others may buy and sit with you). If you can’t get the table configuration you want and end up booking seats on different tables as a result, please do so under the same email address and we’ll automatically put you together on one table. In fact, any seats booked under the same email address we will assume are together but, if this is not the case, (or if you are booking with friends under different email addresses), just let us know and we’ll make a plan to seat you together. If the event appears sold-out, or you want to add to an existing booking, the same applies - just drop us an email to events@caferoux.co.za and we’ll do our best to make a plan!

If you struggle with the booking or online payment process, or want to swap tables, we can’t help with that - so please contact Quicket on support@quicket.co.za and they will. If you can’t make the show and want to try to resell your tickets, please make use of Quicket’s secondary ticket sale option online - or let us know and we’ll try to sell your tickets on the door.

GRASS TICKETS

Simply choose your spot and buy anything from 2 to 4 tickets as you would do when booking a table. Each grass spot has its own drinks tray and is numbered so the waiters will find you easily - and, no matter how many seats you choose, that spot remains yours! Want to be near your friends? Let us know on events@caferoux.co.za and we’ll do our best to put you together!
