The tranquil
Underberg farm on which the annual Splashy Fen Music Festival is held, has been
transformed into a colourful tent town with thousands of people from around the
country descending on the southern Drakensberg in KZN this Easter for a long
weekend of great live music in a stunning mountain setting.
Included on the
bill for Splashy Fen #24 are the likes of Mi Casa, Gazelle and inviZAble, The
Muffinz, Gangs of Ballet, December Streets, The Ard Matthews Affair, Desmond
& The Tutus, Matthew Mole, Dave Ferguson, ISO, City Bowl Mizers, Veranda
Panda, Dan Patlansky, Josie Field and Laurie Levine, among many others.
Expect a
multi-genre line-up of close to 100 of the country’s hottest acts, top-class
sound and lighting, as well as side-splitting stand-up comedy, a vibrant craft
market and retail area, plus loads of exciting food and drink outlets. New this
year is late-night ‘silent disco’, as well as the Red Bull Water Wings river
stage, where festival-goers can float along on their tubes and lilos while listening
to some cool sounds.
Camping for the
entire four-night, five-day festival is included in the ticket price. Another
option is a new on-site ‘tent motel’ (www.heartbreakmotel.co.za) offering a more glamorous camping
experience with all the comforts of home! There is also a separate family
campsite, which is the ideal spot for festival-goers with young children. Supported
by Tourism KwaZulu-Natal, Splashy Fen has been going strong since 1990 and is
one of the premier live music showcases in the country.

line-up and more info about the Uber Cool Dance Valley and Winston Lot private
