    Backsberg Picnic Concerts to feature top acts and mystery guests

    There is a slight twist with the series this year as each of the performers will be bringing an up-and-coming artist with them to open the gig. It will be interesting to see who the artists believe is the future of South African music.

    Pre-book a picnic

    Relax in the Sunday afternoon sun with a glass of fine wine as artists entertain you. Pack your umbrella, picnic blankets and lunches. Audiences can choose to pre-book a special Backsberg picnic to enjoy with these sunset acoustic performances, or buy one of our famous lamb burgers at the venue.

    Pre-sale tickets for the concerts and picnics are available from www.ticketbreak.co.za/backsberg at R85 or R170 with a picnic and R100 at the gate. Children under 12 years get in free when accompanied by their parents.

    Admission to concert venue starts at 3pm, with the opening act starting at 4pm and the main act at 5pm.For the full line-up of bands, directions, comments, and more information on the series, go to www.facebook.com/BacksbergConcerts and backsberg.co.za.
