KZN’s only acoustic music festival, White Mountain is the
perfect opportunity to escape the city and unwind in a stunning setting while
enjoying a great line-up of live acoustic acts, plus so much more!
The festival will take place from September 24 to 27,
offering patrons the opportunity to take advantage of the Heritage Day public
holiday and make a long-weekend of it.
Known for its intimate, relaxed atmosphere, the festival is
held at White Mountain Lodge in the foothills of the Giant's Castle Nature
Reserve, only 185km from Durban, 400km from Johannesburg and just 25km off the
N3, tarred roads all the way. With its spacious grounds, fishable dam, swimming
pool and charming old pub (with satellite TV and live music), the lodge’s many
amenities add another dimension to the usual festival experience.
Performing at White Mountain this year (and guaranteed to
make the 10th festival a celebration to remember!) are the likes of Matthew
Mole, Rowan Stuart, Rubber Duc, Margaret’s Daughter, Howie Combrink, Connecting
Stars, Holly and The Woods, Shomon, Tuin, Bad Peter, Majozi, Gugz and the Bam
Bam, and Early Hours.
There’s also the international Australian duo Jamie
MacDowell and Tom Thum, a not-to-be-missed collaboration that combines
heartfelt songwriting and melodic finger-work with world-class beatboxing.
Also on offer are colourful arts and crafts, a wide variety
of food and drink outlets, several local craft breweries, plus loads of outdoor
leisure activities.
Tickets are available at Computicket
and include entry to the festival campsite overlooking the dam. For more

NB: In addition to the
festival camping area, there is also a caravan park where campers and
caravanners can enjoy large grassed sites with electricity points and separate
ablution blocks. To enquire about rates and check on availability, contact
