Join ‘Barry Thomson and The Reals’ who are performing their Splashy Fen repertoire and will include music by other top artistes who performed at the 2026 and past Splashy Fen festivals.

Established in 1990, Splashy Fen is South Africa's oldest and longest-running music festival which is located on a farm on Bushman’s Nek Road in the Underberg area of the Drakensberg mountains, KwaZulu-Natal. It is known as ‘SA’s Friendliest Music Festival’.

Expect to hear top, foot-tapping music including songs by Grand Funk Railroad, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Pink Floyd, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, Heart, Queen and some original songs, music and lyrics composed by Barry Thomson.

With front-man Barry Thomson on lead guitar and vocals, musical director Dawn Selby on keyboards and vocals, Mali Sewell on drums and Robz Millar on bass guitar, Rhumbelow hopes you can join us for this epic collection of top-class music.
