UP THE CREEK MUSIC FESTIVAL 2011 - DATE POSTED 7 DEC 2010

WELCOME TO UP THE CREEK!

One river, three stages, four days, loads of music and comedy and 2000 festival goers with a passion for some of South Africa’s best music in common – get ready for Up the Creek 2011!

From 4 – 6 February 2011, the usually quiet campsite close to Swellendam will once again be transformed into a slightly surreal spot of revelry, raging rock and soulful tunes, performances from another planet and shenanigans of the type that you can only pull off when you’re safely tucked in next to the mighty Breede River for four days.

Yup – four. For R100 extra, four hundred die-hard Creekers can pull in on Thursday, 3 February for a chilled out preview gig at the bar stage. You can choose the best spot for your tent and kick-start the weekend’s carousing so that the place is cooking by the time the rest of your friends arrive.

Early Bird tickets will be on sale again.  Ticket sales will open on 1 November. 

Only 2 000 tickets are available! Ticket Sales open on 1st November 2010.

WHAT YOU GET, UP THE CREEK

Up the Creek campsite is uniquely situated on the banks of the Breede River.  In typical Up the Creek tradition we will once again run the main stage, the river stage and the all-night-long bar stage throughout the four days. You can frolic in the river during the day and then move up to main stage as the day progresses. Only one stage will be running at a time, so you won’t miss any of the acts on offer.

In 2011, we will bring you the same of what worked last year and more: Food vendors offering delicious festival faire, coffee maestros, more stalls and bars throughout the festival. If you are travelling with kids, rest assured that they will be supervised and catered for with kiddie-friendly activities at the designated kid’s area, including a jumping castle. The festival ground is also kitted out with a medical tent with trained personnel, while lifeguards at the riverside will keep tans in check and of course their eyes wide open.

ANYTHING THAT FLOATS…

Lobster lilos, Indian canoes, floating bars and human tube chains are making a comeback in 2011. Following the splashing, singing, howling success of the debut of the ANYTHING THAT FLOATS competition in 2010, we’ve decided to stir up in the refreshing water of the Breede River once again. After spotting a jolly good pair of sailors floating down the river in a bathtub we might, however, have seen it all…or have we?

Participants are encouraged to think outside of their beach gear boxes in order to stand a chance to win incredible prizes.

At this stage, categories include anything from the best design and most floatable contraption to the most luxurious device on the Breede River. Keep an eye on the COMPETITIONS PAGE for updates and details of other competitions.

WHAT TO BRING, UP THE CREEK

Bring: Your ticket, ID Book, tent, mattresses, camping chairs, torches, sleeping bag, duvet, sun block, insect repellent, toilet paper, camera, cap or hat, something warm, towel, pillow, headache pills, money, sunglasses, swimming kit, anything that floats – lilo, paddle, boat – and lastly, your friends and a good attitude.

If you don’t want to pitch your tent, just pitch up for your pre-booked tented accommodation. Check out the TICKETS ABOVE

Don’t bring: Firearms and pets.
