SPLASHY FEN ELECTRIC BOMA WELCOMES INTERNATIONAL ACTS



From Cape Town to California, Nigeria to Nashville, Australia, Durban… and now Denmark. The musical talent pouring in to play at this year’s Splashy Fen is sure to add to the big-festival-feel that South Africa’s friendliest festival is promising its fans.

With performance around the world, global party-starter, producer, DJ and label owner Oliver Koletzki will turn up the heat on an already electric line-up at the Splashy Fen Electric Boma. As one of its headlining acts this year, Berlin-based Koletzki will bring 26 years of experience to the rolling foothills of Underberg for a party not to be missed.

In addition, Koletzki’s protégé and wunderkind Nico Schwind will join the festivities as another international headliner. Schwind is known for his deep love for and close bond to house music; and with three captivating house albums under his belt, he brings an energy to his set that is sure to thrill any crowd.

This year, the ever-popular Electric Boma will host a handful of talented DJs and producers with the likes of The Kiffness, The Bantwanas Act, Veranda Panda, Felix Brendel, Chunda Munki, RudeBoyz SA and many more.

“We are thrilled to be able to bring big names with musical clout to our fans at Splashy Fen. Each year we endeavour to do bigger and better things in terms of the music and entertainment we provide, as well as the festival experience as a whole,” says Festival Director Stu Berry. “Having said that though, our main focus is still very much on empowering and providing a platform for local artists, both known and unknown. It has, and always will be, a part of Splashy Fens core values.”

Over 200 local and international musicians will perform for fans across 5 unique stage areas throughout the iconic four-day festival.

The Splashy Fen 2017 confirmed line-up includes Australian megastars, The Temper Trap, The Springbok Nude Girls, Jeremy Loops, The Kiffness, The Parlotones, The Subway Run, Jack Parow, The Kickstands, December Streets, Desmond and the Tutus, Rowan Stuart, Don’t Poke The Bear, Nibs van der Spuy, and many more…

The bustling boma and dance floor area is situated a fair distance away from the main camping site and family camp site areas to ensure all camping fans are catered for in terms of noise levels.

Splashy Fen 2017 will take place over the traditional Easter weekend from April 13 to 16. Tickets are available at www.splashyfen.co.za
