Oppikoppi Pulls out the Stops
Oppikoppi have upped their game – we’re guessing to widen the net and bring in a more diverse crowd – also as a way to fire-up their growing popularity – so guys, how can you not take up the offer and Represent. Groove Armada (wow!), 340ml, HHP, Lark, Dirty Skirts, DJ Khenzero, Violent Femmes, Harris Tweed, Kwani Experience, Max Normal Tumi, Zubz, Zuluboy, Fokofpolisiekar… it goes on. R399. 9-11 August. NW. Tempted? If not then how about “Dagga Davis” and “DJ Afro Whitie” 😉 We’ll try hook up some ticket give-aways. Oppikoppi.co.za
Represent Tips: plan ahead, go in a group of chomees, take a proper tent, loads of wood, loads of whatever warms you, loads of blankets, a mattress, cash for munchies en beer, looroll, torches, energy drinks, hoodies en gloves… it’s awesome maar it can be fkn koud. Camping in comfort obligatory for full effect. BTW, has anyone else noticed the DASSIE emerging as a sub-culture icon… it’s moment is clearly here. Fabulous graphics!
OPPIKOPPI: THE WAY OF THE DASSIE
9- 11 August 2007
Brought to you and us by Levis® Original Music, Jose Cuervo Tequila and MK.
Dassies, Dassies everywhere! And not a drop to drink. Well sort of. Although there are many types of Dassies and most do not need that much of drink (check out Maxnormal.TV for a full list). And looking at the lineup confirmed for the festival there won’t be much time for ocean faring and other Dassies to spend at the convivial bars of the bushveld farm. Not only has some of the South African heavy weights added there hats to the annual tune extravaganza list, but for the first time ever OppiKoppi will be playing host to a day full of international and South African artists on the inaugural Ampli5 music tour. Effectively this means a whole lot more Dassie power for everyone: just like the Dalai Dassie.
