Rocking the Daisies Heads to the Bush

Rocking the Daisies’ Premier Teaser Event, Sowing the Seeds, Heads to the bush!I know I usually write about goings on in Cape Town but this was too exciting for me not to share. Rocking the Daisies is branching out – excuse the odd pun – and heading to Jozi! The team behind the awesome music festival is making its way to Magaliesburg in the form of a 2-day music festival on 24th and 25th of February 2012.

Now Jo’burgers will have the opportunity to enjoy a full weekend music extravaganza like no other festival in South Africa. I’m all about sharing the love when it comes to local music so I’m pretty excited about this. Music lovers can now enjoy a bush festival surrounded by the breathtaking Highveld landscape, at Warthogs Game Farm. The event will offer the same laid back festival vibe and family friendly atmosphere that is synonymous with Rocking the Daisies.

So what can you expect from the fest? Firstly an amazing venue with lush grassy areas in the heart of the Magaliesburg, with accommodation options that vary from camping to 4-star luxury lodges. This event will also host a rocking line up including South Africa’s top bands and DJ’s, cool brand experiences and a whole bunch of entertaining activities.

Tickets for the fest will set you back R200. This includes a full weekend festival ticket as well as optional camping for Friday and Saturday night. Tickets are available through www.webtickets.co.za and are limited to 3000 people.
