Fokofpolisiekar added to Up the Creek 2018 line-up

Red Hot Events and Jägermeister have announced that Fokofpolisiekar will be performing at Up the Creek 2018. The music festival will be held at the Breede River in Swellendam on 25-28 January 2018.

Francois van Coke from Fokofpolisiekar says: “We played at Up the Creek in 2004. We were still a young band back then. I loved it and can’t wait to be back after 14 years to see what the festival has been up to. I have only heard good things!”

Creekers can look forward to their performing skits, plays, talks, eco-bricking workshops and more.

Jeffrey the Jam Van will be on standby to entertain before the Jägermeister main stage kicks off and the Sedgwicks’ Old Brown Food Court stage will be running in the mornings and afternoons to showcase new and upcoming artists.
