Excellent news for all chronic
FOMO-sufferers: there will be no need to run around between stages at the 2012 Up The Creek together with Bacardi festival. The organisers have once again decided to do away with the conventional anxiety-inducing multiple stage festival lineup in favour of a single-file approach that allows revellers to enjoy one performance without fear of losing out on another. Joy!

Haven't gotten your ticket yet? Time is running out, so it is highly recommended that you drop all non-life sustaining activities and make work of it. Tickets can be purchased from
www.ticketbreak.co.za or on the festival
Facebook page.
Prices range between R150 and R600, depending on the length of your stay and whether you buy your tickets beforehand or at the gate (latter option is not recommended, as Swellendam is quite a ways to drive if you haven't already secured your spot).
Those of you who plan to take the Friday off work to beat traffic out of Town might want to have a look at
things to do in and around Swellendam, as the gates only open at 16h00. I can also personally recommend a stopover at the wineries along
Route 62. The terrior in and around the Robertson- and Swellendam area is particularly suited to growing Chardonnay and Shiraz grapes, so keep an eye out for these varietals during your pit stops.
