When I first heard about SkyRoom Live I was so excited about the concept that I just had to find out more about it all.<\/p>\n<p>The venue is nestled amongst the many other skyscraper buildings in Braamfontein Johannesburg. This location provides an intimate setting together with the night sky as a backdrop, it is nothing short of picturesque.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1251 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.andyleve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DSCN0200-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"DSCN0200\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.andyleve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DSCN0200-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.andyleve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DSCN0200-507x380.jpeg 507w, https:\/\/www.andyleve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DSCN0200.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In 2010, founders of SkyRoom Live, Mark Daubeney , Eban Olivier , Graham Cunningham and Desti Loeijs worked on the Sony 3D world cup project. This sparked the idea of broadcasting live events in 2D or 3D to either cinema, websites, facebook so that people will be able to experience live events, without physically being at the event. The result of that : SKYROOM LIVE.<\/p>\n<p>After two and a half years of developing the concept, Skyroom Live officially launched on 18 March 2012, with Die Heuwels Fantasties as the first act to grace the stage. Other acts that have performed there include, Jack Parow, Jozi, Aking and The Parlotones, to name a few.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1249\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1249\" style=\"width: 317px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1249\" src=\"http:\/\/www.andyleve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Die-Heuwels-83-rb_600-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Die Heuwels Fantasties rocking the rooftop \" width=\"317\" height=\"211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.andyleve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Die-Heuwels-83-rb_600-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.andyleve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Die-Heuwels-83-rb_600-1-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.andyleve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Die-Heuwels-83-rb_600-1.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1249\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Die Heuwels Fantasties rocking the rooftop<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The audience at the performances is strictly by invite only.
