Jozi is warming up for the biggest hip & happening music festival in the country! Woodstock is the largest annual music festival in the country and will be celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.
It has come a long way since the inaugural one at Heidelberg with its fusion of youth, music and culture. There has been a change of production company to Surreal Sounds, but everything else remains exactly the same as the last nine years, with Simon Fourie and his companies behind him keeping it the biggest music festival in the country. These experienced campaigners will keep true to the festival's history by bringing together South Africa's finest bands from a huge variety of different genres that grips the youth of today's imagination.
Check out the hot moves of numerous skateboarders, BMX riders, FMX riders, offroad Sandmaster-type cars and paintball; and an assortment of different stalls to keep the browsers happy. There are many new twists and treats due to be introduced to Woodstock this year, such as 'Sunset Happy Hour' which will be a break in all music, allowing everyone the chance to visit the beer gardens, meet new people in the satellite forest bar, go paintballing, or take a stroll on the beach. There are also hectares upon hectares of land to explore. You'll never be bored!
And there are exciting additions to the main and alternative stage, including a third stage affectionately dubbed "The Village Party Stage", the fourth will be a DJ Stage, which will continue playing music into the early hours of the morning and an exciting fifth addition is the Hip Hop tent.
The main tent will be alongside a river and dam enabling you to take a dip and escape the heat of the day. Designated secure camping areas will be set aside with trees for covering to provide shade. Be there!
