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.

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!
