As we said before: This is a rough day schedule, set chronologically so we know where we’re headed. Assuming we’ll never sleep or feel sick, obviously. Thursday’s line up looks entertaining. Bands we’re looking forward to are Heroine, Basson Laubscher and the Violent Free Piece, and The Dollfins. We’re curious to see what Black Lung brings to the stage too. Few bands going for a rough sound actually pull it off live, and this would be our first time seeing them. Friday at Cape Town’s leg is gonna be a tough and a big one. We’re keen to see what The Ballistics (formerly known as Ballistic Blues) bring to the table. We’re also incredibly excited to see what The Very Wicked’s been up to, with only a cryptic teaser for their debut album circulating online. They’re playing the exact same time as Gateway Drugs, a duo us at Drop Your Drink are way too fond of. We’ll probably be bouncing between these two stages. Obviously, the Foto Na Dans reunion is gonna be a little crazy, with favourites Hou Jou Hande Bymekaar, Soldaatvolk, and Konings not forgotten in the least. Saturday’s gonna be absolutely huge, with VuvuVultures on at 16h00, and Foals and Biffy Clyro closing down the festival. Save your energy for these acts friends. It’s gonna be mental.
