Splashy rocks the ‘berg this Easter
Top performers, old and new, will be at this year's 25th anniversary of Splashy Fen.
THE 25th Splashy Fen Music Festival from 17 to 21 April is set to rock the southern Drakensberg with an awesome line-up of the very best in South African music.
Guaranteed to be one of the highlights at this year’s festival is the legendary Vusi Mahlasela. Celebrated for his distinct, powerful vocals and poetic lyrics, Mahlasela has toured the world and performed alongside the likes of Alicia Keys, Dave Matthews and Josh Groban.
Other must-see acts include the likes of Jeremy Loops, Matthew Mole, Gangs of Ballet, ISO, Arno Carstens & Francois van Coke in an acoustic collaboration, Shortstraw, The Black Cat Bones, Chris Chameleon, Dan Patlansky, Southern Gypsey Queen, Nibs van der Spuy, Ant Cawthorn-Blazeby & Nick Pitman, The Guy Buttery Band, Hinds Brothers, Paige Mac, Haggis and Bong, Bittereinder, Habit To, DJ Ready D, The Kiffness, Yesterday’s Pupil, Das Kapital, Veranda Panda, Sibot & Toyota, among others.
There’ll also be an element of nostalgia with the return of several of the bands and artists that have really wowed audiences and brought the house down in the past. Acts like Just Jinjer, Squeal, WONDERboom and even Tree63, whose former members will be flying in from Canada and the States to reunite at Splashy for the first time since 2008.
Tickets are available at Computicket and include camping for the entire four-night, five-day festival. For more information, visit www.splashyfen.co.za or contact 031 563 0824.
