The sound of rock band U2's Cape Town concert this Friday 18 February will be streamed live on MultiChoice's DStv.com website for free in South Africa and throughout Africa.
''We are excited to be making the future happen right now on dstv.com with the first ever live streaming of a U2 concert in Africa,'' says John Kotsaftis, DStv Online CEO. ''We are very proud and excited to be working with Universal Music and U2 on this initiative and this is just one of many innovations we have lined up for our online audience in 2011.''
The audio stream on dstv.com will be streamed in South Africa as well as several African countries as well as places like Madagascar and Mauritius. DStv says the webcast is flash-based and therefore will not work on devices not supporting that technology. The stream will be available www.dstv.com/U2.
