Rocking the Daisies 2013: Saturday

Saturday 5 October 2013

The combination of the bitter cold and my inability to find a comfortable position meant I hardly slept on Friday night. Still, I woke up feeling surprisingly energised. It was the big day of Rocking the Daisies with all of the big internationals on the bill: Skunk Anansie, Boys Noize, The Hives and Alt-J. If I’d been feeling unconvinced of my enjoyment of the festival on Friday, Saturday would lay those feelings to rest – the headliners smashed my expectations and blew my mind.

Rocking the Daisies 2013: Friday

Friday 4 October 2013

Last year was my first time at Rocking the Daisies and I was impressed by the size and professionalism of the festival. I’ll be honest, while this year’s Saturday’s internationals totally blew my mind (and expectations), I found the Friday pretty rough. That said, there were still some great moments; Friday highlights for me included The Dirty Skirts’ reunion and the testosterone-drenched Black Cat Bones.

It may still be cold and rainy in Cape Town but spring flowers and blossoms have started blooming all over the place. With its farms and mountains, the Overberg region is looking particularly lovely at this time of year.
