The Parlotones to open World Cup

Look at for The Parlotones this Friday when you watch the FIFA World Cup Kick-off concert.

The Parlotones will perform at the concert on Friday with Alicia Keys, Black Eyed Peas and Shakira but in South Africa, The Parlotones will be the one the South African audience wants most.

The Parlotones are South Africa's biggest rock band.

They formed back in 1998 and now have half a dozen albums under their belt.

Albums are one thing, but you know a band is really big when they have a wine as well. Their first wine is 'Giant Mistake', named after a song from their 'A World Next Door To Yours' album. It is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (54%), Shiraz (23%), Pinotage (12%) and Cabernet Franc (11%).

This year they released a white 'Push Me To The Floor', named after a song from the new album Stardust Galaxies. It is Chenin Blanc (60%), Gewurtraminer (25%), Chardonnay (10%) and Viognier (5%).

SBS will broadcast the concert live across Australia at 1pm on Friday June 11.
