It's a long weekend, which means its time to let a little bit of dust settle on your desk and enjoy Phuza Thursday with the pros-pect of a hangover. The question is what to do with all this precious free time. Here are a few ideas:
MUSIC
Travis Scott and Bryson Tiller
The artists are at the vanguard of a new generation of hip hop and R&B musicians who have thrown the old rule book out and are redefining what it means to be cool. As such their concert is set to be full to the brim with the hippest and trendiest types and a whole host of people who want to look like the hippest and trendiest types.
If FOMO is a thing you struggle with then you had best find yourself a ticket because Instagram is going to be flooded with "look where I am" posts by the end of the night.
