It’s so close to that time of year again where everyone takes a trip down to Darling, and depending on their flavour, either spend it under the sun watching live bands all day or going full groove on the make shift Mainstay Beach Bar dancefloor which was an absolute hit last year. Some are of the opinion that was the dancefloor that opened the sluice gates to a flood of epic EDM parties last year. I feel the same way.
They’ve announced the headliners to be Boyz Noize, Skunk Anansie, Alt-J and The Hives, all of which need no introduction as international acts on South African turf – what’s hot news though, is our Spoek Mathambo has been booked to open up the main stage for these internationals on the Rocking weekend. Spoek, having just released a 12 track mixtape that comes along with an 8-Bit game just for good measure, is definitely generating some air-waves with his positive energy as an artist –sealing this slot on the main stage can only set us up for a good time. Thank you.
So, if, for some unknown reason you haven’t quite made up your mind yet as to whether you’re going to Rocking the Daisies this year, let this be the deal sealer, this add to the bill has packaged the Daisies parcel quite nicely for us. This is most certainly is going to be one for the books.
