One river, three stages, four days, loads of music and comedy and festival goers with a passion for some of South Africa’s best music in common – get ready for Up the Creek 2012 together with Bacardi! From 2-5 February 2012, the usually quiet campsite close to Swellendam will once again be transformed into a slightly surreal spot of revelry, raging rock and soulful tunes, performances from another planet and shenanigans of the type that you can only pull off when you’re safely tucked in next to the mighty Breede River for four days.
The line up for Up the Creek 2012 is nothing short of fantastic and in typical Up the Creek tradition we will be running live music on 3 stages throughout the weekend: The Bacardi Main Stage, the MK river stage and the all-night-long BOS Breede River bar stage.
The line up for the weekend includes:
Kongos, aKing, Akkedis, Black Cat Bones, Blues Broers, Cameron Bruce, City Bowl Mizers, Fox Comet, The Great Apes, Holiday Murray, Hot Water, Karen Zoid, Louwtjie Rothman, Machineri, No One’s Arc, Piet Botha, Taxi Violence, Wrestlerish, Jeremy Loops, Luna Paige, Shadowclub, Sterling EQ, Andra, Peachy Keen, AC/DC Tribute, Southern Gypsey Queen.
This year Up the creek is hosting an international act:
KONGOS is a rock band of four brothers (Johnny, Jesse, Dylan and Danny Kongos) – sons of multi-million-seller South African singer-songwriter John Kongos. They grew up in London and South Africa and now write, record and perform in Phoenix, Arizona. KONGOS released their debut album in 2007 and are currently promoting their second album ‘Lunatic’ for Tokoloshe Records, an independent label they recently formed together with John Kongos. The album was released in South Africa on Dec 12 through Just Music.
In 2012, they bring you the same of what worked last year and more. More food vendors to get you through the days in style, including coffee maestros that can deliver your caffeine to your tent-step, more stalls and more bars throughout the festival. Once again, there will be dedicated life-guards to ensure maximum safety.
