Rocking the Daisies 2015: Saturday

Posted on: October 8, 2015
Sat 3 October 2015

Day 2 of Rocking the Daisies 2015 featured the biggest crowd I’ve ever been stuck in (for German headliners Milky Chance – it honestly took me the majority of their set to get from the far end of the crowd out to the foodcourt), a mini birthday parade, a rugby-viewing village and of course some great musical performances, including Fokofpolisiekar’s Daisy debut, returning-to-SA British headliners The Kooks and my personal festival highlight, the highly emotional and beautiful Hog Hoggidy Hog tribute performance in honour of George Bacon.

Here are some shots from Saturday at RTD2015.

Rocking the Daisies 2015: Friday

Fri 2 October 2015

Celebrating a #DecadeOfDaisies, Rocking the Daisies‘ 10 edition saw their biggest ever crowd (some 22 000 people) and featured a wide array of local and international artists across many stages. Always an entertainment jam-packed festival, this year was no different and apart from the music (and rugby) there was constantly plenty to see and do and eat and drink.

Here are some shots from Friday, featuring Australian headliners The Cat Empire as well as local favourites including Fokofpolisiekar, Jeremy Loops, 340million and loads more.

One Eight Seven, Alive at Midnight, Peasant & Bolleria Industrial at Club Med

Last week One Eight Seven, Alive at Midnight, Peasant and touring Spaniards Bolleria Industrial put on one of the most insane shows I’ve been to in a long, long time. Everything from the venue (the undeniably seedy yet somehow endearing Club Med, and the only place where I’ve ever seen Simba chips for sale at the bar) to the beer-mud and glass-shard minefield that was the dancefloor amplified the intense punk ethos of the show.

Here are some shots from the totally epic night. My ears are still ringing.
