With the awesome programme planned for this year, Lekkerland Carnival has something for everyone.

“Lekkerland is the place where you go to feel loved,” says Pedro Barbosa.

“It doesn’t matter what kind of love. It’s a happy place filled with vivid colours, magic, lots of smiling faces and just absolute blissful fun.”

Irene-Louise van Wyk said its carnival feel will give it those wonderful adrenaline-filled good vibes.

Prime Circle’s Ross Learmonth said, “In my mind, Lekkerland looks like a music lover’s dream. It has towers of speakers everywhere, jutting out of the ground as if they grew there. It’s a place where everyone loves to sing along at the top of their voices.”

Elandré would like his fans to know that he can’t wait to be on the Lekkerland stage with his band, the Buchu Bende, again.

“My idea is to have my guitar in hand, playing for a super-fun audience.”
