Now in its 11th year,
the annual White Mountain Festival is coming up from September 29 to October 2 2016
and is the perfect opportunity to escape the city and unwind in a stunning
setting while enjoying a great line-up of some of the best acoustic acts in the
country.
Known for its
intimate, relaxed atmosphere, the festival is held at White Mountain Lodge near
Giant's Castle in the scenic central Drakensberg region of KwaZulu-Natal, just
25km off the N3 on tarred roads, 185km from Durban and 400km from Johannesburg.
Included on the
bill – which features everything from bluegrass to folk, rock, blues and
traditional Celtic and African rhythms – are the likes of Bad Peter, Jack
Mantis Band, Georgetown, Lunatic Wolf, Simpl3 Stori3s, Chico Muya, Jenny &
The Jameses, Heather Waters, Matt Gardiner, Hoot 'n Anny, Jerry and the
Bandits, Wild Lettuce, plus a stripped-down acoustic set from The Black Cat
Bones.
Also not to be
missed is Cape Town’s Richard Stirton, winner of M-Net’s The Voice SA 2016, as well as his fellow contestants,
singer-songwriters Mbijana Sibisi and Jeremy Olivier.
Aside from the
music, festival-goers can look forward to a wide variety of food and drink
outlets, great local craft beer, vibrant arts and crafts, plus loads of fun
outdoor activities for the whole family, including a trail run presented by TRAIL
Magazine. Visitors also enjoy full access to the lodge’s spacious grounds, dam,
swimming pool and charming old pub with satellite TV and late-night live music.
In addition to the
festival campsite (included in the ticket price), there is also a new on-site
‘tent hotel’ at White Mountain this year, offering a stylish, hassle-free
camping experience with all the comforts of home.
Expect great music,
fun times and smiles all around from this gem of a festival! Tickets available
at Computicket. For more information, visit www.c-weed.com/wmf
