One festival, two festivals, three festivals, four... That is one festival for each of the months left of the year, starting today as September, then October, November and December!
And what more does one need to start preparing for summer holiday mode than a festival to truly get that let go feeling, to kick back and kick off the shoes and just learn to be at one with nature and live meal-to-meal, enjoying the sunshine and mostly concerned with which epic band to see next!
Starting with White Mountain Festival from today in KZN, to Rocking the Daisies next weekend for the Capies and those along the west coast, followed by Synergy at the end of November (also for those in Western Cape), and the new one day Drake Festival in KZN on 17 December!
Rocking the Daisies has a stellar line up on Saturday in particular! I think I'll find myself a permanent viewing possie from 2pm onwards:
- SATURDAY
- 10:00 The Brother Moves On
- 11:00 The Rescu
- 12:00 Peachy Keen
- 13:00 IScreamStix
- 14:00 Jeremy Loops
- 15:05 Yoav
- 16:10 Belleruche
- 17:15 Tumi & the Volume
- 18:20 aKING
- 19:45 Prime Circle
- 21:10 Civil Twilight
- 22:55 Band of Skulls
- 00:30 Lark
And yes, that's two UK bands on the Saturday line-up - electronic / soul band Belleruche for the post-lunch chill and then the main alternative rock headliner Band of Skulls who will take us over the midnight threshold!
Even the Sunday line up is worth sticking around for! I recall last year how we stayed til Nibs van der Spuy at the very end, and despite it pissing it down with rain, we were so pleased we stuck it out!
SUNDAY
SUNDAY
- 10:00 Hot Water
