Rocking the Daisies – Cape Town’s only Live Rock Festival
Once a year during the height of the flower season along Cape Town’s West Coast a special rock music concert is held in the beautiful countryside around the town of Darling.
This year, Rocking the Daisies, the only Cape Town music festival on the local festival calendar, is set to supersede all previous years in terms of both an incredible line-up of local artists, as well as location.
What better way could there be to spend a week end than camping on a beautiful wine estate, soaking up the sun, lazing about in daisy-laced fields and enjoying live performances by some of South African’s hottest bands, cooling off in the dam and sipping fine wines sold on site?
With kids under twelve incurring no charge, this is a family-friendly festival which allows everyone to hang out together under the blue African sky.
This year’s line-up includes well-known acts such rockers The Dirty Skirts, funk-fusion band The Rudimentals and the hotter-than-hot Cassette who supported Pink during her recent South African tour. Other popular bands are Flat Stanley, Max Normal TV who have developed quite a cult following, Bed on Bricks and Love Jones.
Most of the bands are getting loads of airplay on Radio 2000 and Five F.M.
In addition, an impressive list of comedy acts will be keeping the crowds entertained between all the music.
Priding itself on being a ‘green’ event, the organisers are offering concessions to those who cycle from Cape Town to Darling for the weekend. In addition, no glass may be brought to the site and there is a park and ride system to lessen the impact of the vehicles on the land. So why not pack your tent and head off to Cloof Wine Farm this weekend (28 – 30 September 2007) for a rocking good time among the daisies?
