Tribute to Women

The line-up for Friday night is themed: Up the Creek`s Tribute to Women and it includes performances by Saarkie, Tailor, Machineri, Karen Zoid and Beast.

Saturday morning`s cup of coffee will be with Lucy Kruger and Shotgun Tori and then you can move down to the river for the Anything That Floats Competition, while listening to Peter Mitchell, Trenton and Free Radical, No One`s Arc, Nomadic Orchestra and Grassy Spark on the MK river stage, right next to the river.

Red Bull "splash your neighbour DJ series" will keep the rhythm going in the late afternoon, before you head back up to the main stage.

Saturday night brings more of the best on the 4th Street Main Stage: YOAV, Peachy Keen, Jeremy Loops, December Streets, Desmond and the Tutus and Black Cat Bones.

Late-night stage

To top it all off, the Rolling Stone SA late-night stage will keep the party going after the main stage closes down for the night. Friday night`s late-night acts include: The Mysticcs and Good Night Wembley and Saturday just after midnight you can dance to the beat of Woodstock Mafia and Taxi and Friends.

Sunday morning`s hangover cure will be Janie & The Beard and Piet Botha and, of course, a splash in the river to the happy tunes of Dave Ferguson, Shotgun Tori and Akkedis. Funnyman Siv Ngesi will also be showcasing his new material.
