Here's something to diarise. Sun International will present POSI+IVE, a fusion of
music, fashion, art and cuisine with a world-class line-up of talent led by the Backstreet
Boys and Latino heart-throb Marcos Hernandez, taking place at Sun City from June 13
to 15.

POSI+IVE is a unique collaboration between leading local and international fashion

designers, musicians, artists and acclaimed chefs, resulting in a three-day extravaganza
which raises funds for Sun International' s HIV/Aids initiatives - Tapologo Aids
Hospice, Noah, St Michaels and Missionvale Care Centre.
This will be a three-day interactive festival, bringing a broad spectrum of artists, fashion
designers, chefs and musicians together.

The Backstreet Boys will be performing two shows in the Sun City Superbowl on June
14 and June 15.

The Backstreet Boys' smash hits include Quit Playing Games With My Heart, As Long
As You Love Me, and Larger Than Life. Their latest hits include Inconsolable and
Helpless When She Smiles.

In 2005, Mexican-American singer Marcos Hernandez burst onto the pop scene with his
R&B-tinged hit single If You Were Mine. Hernandez packs a powerful punch with his
electrifying onstage performance.

The POSI+IVE weekend festivities also includes a classical music picnic on June 14
presenting Lira and Jannie Moolman; and the Wall of Hope which features various
paintings donated by celebrities and sport icons.

The POSI+IVE Art Exhibition, which graces the walls of the Hall of Treasures from
June 13 to 16, will be presented by David Brown.

The art focus ranges from street art to investment collections. All proceeds will go to the
POSI+IVE charities.

On the evening of June 13, a fundraising VIP celebration, POSI+IVE Rocks, takes place
in the Sun City Superbowl featuring cameo performances by the Backstreet Boys and
Marcos Hernandez.

This year, the event is open to the public. Tickets for gallery seats range from R220 to
R250.

Other musicians and bands who will share the stage with the Backstreet Boys and
Marcos Hernandez are: Gang of Instrumentals, Danny K, Lira, HHP, Jannie Moolman,
In-Cha, Louise Carver, The Parlotones, the Philharmonic Orchestra, the Holy School
Choir and the cast from Sun City's musical Let there be Rock.
Joining this cast of musicians is leading South African fashion designers Gert van der
Merwe, Marianne Fassler, Craig Native and Sun Goddess who will showcase their
designs.

The featured international designer is Marc Bouwer. Bouwer is originally from Joburg.
Bouwer is based in the US and regularly designs for Angelina Jolie, Heidi Klum and
Charlize Theron.

Guests of POSI+IVE Rocks will also experience a five-course banquet, with each
course prepared by Michelin star chef Conrad Gallagher.

POSI+IVE Rocks tickets are on sale now at Computicket.
