Rock The River. NYE Festival.
What are you doing for this New Years Eve? How about heading out to a kick-ass outdoor music festival with your friends, away from the madness of the surging inner-city crowds? Sound good? Then Rock the River will appeal to you.
Now in its third year, Rock The River SA Festival continues to provide an exciting alternative to conventional New Year’s Eve parties – allowing participants to enjoy live South African music in an intimate, safe and natural environment.
This year’s Rock the River SA New Year’s Festival will take place from December 31st to January 2nd at the Cape Town Ostrich Ranch. The organisers will once again bring along a brand new state-of-the-art sound and lighting rig to provide three epic stages for the more than 100 acts.
At present, the confirmed acts for this year’s event include (subject to change): Fokofpolisiekar, Hog Hoggidy Hog, Reburn, Half Price, Peachy Keen, Stonecollar, The Modes (PE), Junkyard Lipstick, CY.STR, Jackal & Wolf, Thought Police, Witness to Wolves, Boombox Troopers, Cannon, Smugg Juggler, Woodstock Mafia, Signal Hill, Dustland Express, My Flawless Ending as well as a DJ line-up provided by RubaDub and Basscore and much more.
If metal is more your thing, the confirmed acts should be sure to excite you. Think Mind Assault, Crow Black Sky, Ing, Strident, Axxon, Sindulgence, Fear vs Twelve, Messiah Complex, Bulletscript, Wargrave, Wildernessking and more. As for the Electro/Dubstep/D&B stage, the line-up is to be confirmed but will undoubtedly be as great as the rest of the stages.
If that isn’t one great way to ring the New Year in I’m not sure what is.
