"We received incredible feedback from last years festival at the end of Electric Vines 2014. Two main points came up repeatedly, was the drive to Arabella Wines, which seemed simply too far for many. The farm also had no water source for people to cool off in the amazing summer heat of the Western Cape. We therefore looked at venues closer to Cape Town and Wildekrans ultimately ticked all the boxes," stated Matt Hallowes, Festival Director Mattchbox Productions.
This year the festival announces the appointment of South Africa's biggest supporter of local artists, Cath Grenfell, who has joined the Mattchbox team and will be heading up Artist & Media Relations. She will have the most demanding task of booking acts for Electric Vines.
Electric Vines 2015 will witness a notable line-up of over 30 acts on three stages. The acoustic stage will run from morning into the late afternoon and the bigger, louder acts will party you into the night on the main stage.
To keep all festival-goers cooled off, 2015 includes the fabulous new addition of the 'Beach Bar'. This much-needed area of the venue will have a refreshing dam for revellers to cool off in, along with a bar and DJ for those looking for a more upbeat vibe during the day.
Watch Electric Vines social media this week for the announcement of the first six Main Stage acts.
