Since emerging in 2014, Rubber Duc has carved out a reputation as one of South Africa’s most dynamic and crowd-favourite bands, celebrated for their genre-blending alt-pop sound and high-energy live shows.
Tracks like “Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That”, “It’s Alright”, and “Through The Night” have helped them build a loyal fanbase nationwide.
Their debut album, The Secret Sunrise (2016), brought widespread recognition, earning two SAMA nominations and attracting international attention. Since then, standout performances at major festivals including Rocking the Daisies, Oppikoppi, and Splashy Fen have cemented their status as a must-see live act, delivering music that’s sharp, relatable, and instantly engaging.
A new chapter unfolds in 2025 with the release of their EP, Old Money. Featuring catchy hooks, smart lyrical storytelling, and melodies that linger long after the final note, the project signals an exciting evolution in the Rubber Duc sound.
Beyond the stage, the band has also earned the trust of leading brands such as Investec, BMW, Dimension Data, and Sun International, making them a popular choice for premium events and exclusive performances that consistently leave audiences buzzing.
Whether blasting through speakers or lighting up a live stage, Rubber Duc delivers feel-good music that hits the right note every time. Chances are you’ve already seen them perform on one of the stages listed below – and if not, it’s only a matter of time.
