Splish Splash

A farm near Underberg, a ceaseless supply of gumboots, floating restrooms, more tents than stars in the night sky and rhythm in the ground. It’s the ultimate outdoor music bonanza! It’s Splashy fen!

Splashy fen has been going strong for over 2 decades now, proudly attaining the title of South Africa’s longest running music festival. This cosmopolitan of culture, creativity and composition, wrapped up snugly within the blanket of mother nature is an experience that one needs to appreciate first hand! Quite simply, it’s something you really have to “do” before you die, like mastering the art of using chopsticks and implementing a hybrid economic system...yes after getting the British accent down those are my ultimate bucket list place keepers.

This four-day-line-up showcases a hand picked selection of some of the finest musical acts in the land. Artists found in this line up include Syd Kitchen, Tony Cox, Nibs van der Spuy, Miriam Backhouse and the Rudimentals. I guess it would be rude not to mention the diversity of the food on sale, the arts and crafts stores and the leisure activities all available at your fingertips, but it would fall on deaf ears. This is purely for music enthusiasts who are willing to put their bodies through a four day bender ‘for the love of song.’ This is a quote that many aspire to live by, “Dance as though no one is watching and sing as though no one can hear you.” In terms of ‘living Splashy’, you would dance as though no one is watching and if they are, who cares? ...and what’s the point of singing if no one can hear?  Are you feeling the splashy vibe?
