Nothing to do yet for Easter- get to SPLASHY
When I think back to the 90’s and the first Splashy Fen that I ever went to, I have a vague recollection of some very groovy days spent lolling around in crusty clothes listening to folky types singing about flowers and peace… ah yes those glorious sunny daze lying lazily in the lap of the majestic Drakensberg mountains … ahhh… Splashy – u beauty. B…
ack in the day the Splashy Fen festival was a haven for anyone that loved live music, old brown sherry and tie-die t-shirts…well I i bet you that not much has changed – and I’ll eat my beanie if it has. It’s a fantastic platform to check out both new and old talent and a veritable music driving force particularly for the Kwazulu/Natal music scene.
Splashy Fen is back on and looking bigger n better than eva. It’s from Thursday 24th March to Monday 28th March – yes that’s the Easter weekend – it takes place on the farm Splashy Fen, situated 19 kms from Underberg in the Southern Drakensberg Mountains. There’s a sparkling river that runs through it and generally sunny days. Don’t forget your tent.
The line-up is a lot less folky than back in da day – some of the well-known names i would love to check out:
Diesel Whores, Prime Circle, Deluxe, Thumi and the Volume, 340ml, Fuzigish and the Rudimentals…
Limited discount tickets of R250 are available on a first-come first-serve basis – available at various GAME stores and through computicket… but once those are sold out they will revert to the very reasonable price of R320 for the entire weekend which includes camping etc – you can buy them at the gate. And for those Rugby fans – only in South Africa – there’ll be a BIG SCREEN with the Super 12 Rugby on the SAt afternoon. So there’s no excuse. SPLASHY FEN
