Expect a multi-genre line-up of close to 100 of the country's hottest acts, top-class sound and lighting, as well as side-splitting stand-up comedy, a vibrant craft market and retail area, plus loads of exciting food-and-drink outlets. New this year is late-night "silent disco", as well as the Red Bull Water Wings river stage, where festival-goers can float along on their tubes and lilos while listening to some cool sounds.
Camping for the entire four-night, five-day festival is included in the ticket price. Another option is a new on-site "tent motel" (www.heartbreakmotel.co.za) offering a more glamorous camping experience with all the comforts of home. There is also a separate family campsite, which is the ideal spot for festival-goers with young children.
Advance tickets cost R575 at Computicket. For the full line-up and more info about the Dance Valley and Winston Lot private campsites, go to www.splashyfen.co.za or contact +27 (0)31 563 0824.
