Up The Creek

Up The Creek Festival takes place this weekend, on the banks of the Breede River outside Swellendam. Judging by this photo from last year, a lilo and plenty of sunscreen are essential items. Full line up and details after the jump.

One of the (very few) times that I envy my mates living in exile on the mud island that is London, is when their short summer rolls along and festival season starts. I attended V-fest a few years ago and got a taste of how amazing it is. So while Up The Creek cannot compete with the international line up of a Glastonbury or Reading Festival, it definitely kicks ass in the location and weather categories. It’s happening this weekend, so get your tickets, blow up your lilos and come floating up the creek.
