THE Splashy Fen crew have been hard at work over the last few months, preparing for the 2018 edition of South Africa’s Friendliest Festival. And fans old and new, will not be disappointed.

With weeks to go, the full artist line-up has been released with the likes of Chico Muyo, FREDDY – L, Rusty Red, Don Clarke & Dicky Roberts, Mali Zulu, Monark, Jerry and the Bandits, Rubber DUC, Bowling for Soup, Mango Groove, Hot Water, GoodLuck and Ard Matthews gracing the stages of the 28th Splashy Fen Music Festival.

With over 300 hand-picked artists, across five unique stages, over four days, fans do not want to miss out on this one.

Adding to that, and in keeping with Splashy Fen’s self-imposed responsibility to expose, develop and promote local artists, of the 320 musicians that will be performing at Splashy Fen this year, 302 are South African. In addition, the 2018 Splashy Fen will host the largest number of KZN born artists in its 27-year history, with 46 per cent of all musicians hailing from KZN.

“We want everyone who attends Splashy Fen to feel a part of the culture,” said Andrew Van Rensburg, Splashy Fen creative director. “We are adamant in providing a high-quality experience and a high level of service. Capping the number of available tickets at 7 000 is a commitment that shows we are less interested in ticket sales and more passionate about creating the best possible experience for everyone.”

South Africa’s oldest music festival will take place over the traditional Easter weekend from Thursday, 29 of March to Monday 2, April.
