ok, so the first time I got in for free, so it was acceptable. But they pushed it last year, and i feel silly for going back for more!
The first music festival to actually work in cape town, is back!
Rocking the daisies - my gripe is that i still have yet to see any daisies there. this year its 3-5 oct, and again at Cloof wine estate
You won't find any band lineups there, but I'm on the inside, so will give you the prelim list:
ALAN FUNK, ETC CREW, DIRTY SKIRTS, NUNGARIN, BED ON BRICKS, AMA AMBUSH, AKING, FIRE THROUGH THE WINDOW, SON OF A THOUSAND BLUES, TAXI VIOLENCE, JULIA JAKOBSEN, TIDAL WAVES, HOT WATER, GOLDFISH, 7th SON, NAPALMA, UNIT R, NEW LOUD ROCKETS, MAMA KNOW NOTHING, SPOONFEEDAS, PLUSH, GODESSA, KOLO NOVO MOVIE BAND, 340ML, FARRYL PURKISS.
maybe there's some up country stuff to be added later too.
unfortunately it puts me in a quandry of sorts, as I'll miss out on both Lourensford MTB Classic and the Voet Marathon. But it's an easy choice, gotta go find that tent of mine.
the do try push the whole green earth bullsh1t thing, even going so far as claiming a 'carbon neutral' festival. 3000people driving 100km to go watch some bands? last year they gave us hemp tickets (and a paper receipt) and some hippie with grey hair planted a few olives. erm, can we listen to the band please? shot.

Thanks for the post, we're glad to hear you will be making it to RTD 08.
FYI - the festival is indeed carbon neutral (as accredited by Food and Trees for Africa) and you are welcome to check out all the greening initiatives we implemented last year. Go to www.rockingthedaisies.com and hit the GOGREEN button.
This year we will once again be recycling all our waste, using bio-diesel in our generators, implementing cycle and car pooling initiatives, using biodegradable packaging and much, much more. All the details will be uploaded to our website shortly.
Lastly, we have at least 7 up country bands and DJ's featuring in the line-up. The line-up is almost complete and we will be sure to upload it to all the relevant channels.
See you at the fest.
The RTD team
