All set for MTN Bushfire 2013

28 Jan 2013

MTN Bushfire 2013, Swaziland's International festival of the arts will be taking place from 31 May-2 June 2013. This festival sees some of Africa's best artists performing in an intimate and 100% socially responsible festival. Tickets for the festival will be available online from 11 February.

Each year a multi-generational global community of up to 20 000 "bring their fire" to the Malkerns Valley in Swaziland to experience a pan-African and international line-up of live music, theatre, poetry, film, circus, dance and visual arts. A handcraft market, family-friendly performances and KidZone as well as the recently introduced interactive art and dialogue space, The Barn, combine to create a three day entertainment experience.

Audiences are encouraged to buy their tickets before 30 March 2013 to stand a chance to win prizes including ticket upgrades to the Golden Lounge and five star accommodation, amongst other prizes. Also, the first 50 people to buy a full festival ticket will receive a free MTN Bushfire t-shirt.

Online ticket sales will be available at www.bushfire.co.sz from 11 February.
