DStv Delicious announces new act and new venue
JOBURG - The much-anticipated DStv Delicious International Food and Wine Festival is moving venues and adding a new and exciting act to the line-up of performances.
The DStv Delicious International Food and Wine Festival, originally set to take place at the Waterfall Polo Estate in Midrand, is now confirmed to be taking place on 6 and 7 June at the Huddle Recreation Park in Linksfield.
The reason for the change of venue is said to be due to sound restrictions at the estate.
“Unfortunately new sound and site restrictions were imposed at the previous venue which means that Delicious would not be able to provide the promised entertainment and experience that audiences have come to love and expect,” said festival organiser, Lloyd Cornwall.
“And given that this week we were due to announce the surprise (and fourth) international act, Shakatak, we knew we had to move to a bigger location.
“We can now offer more parking in a bigger venue with easier access.”
Shakatak is the jazz-funk band that will join the line-up – coming to the country straight from the UK.
Cornwall is confident that this year’s line-up is one of the strongest they’ve ever had at the festival.
“There is an insatiable demand for the unique Shakatak sound and they continue to perform at huge festivals around the world, so we are delighted that they will be joining what is already an impressive array of acts.”
While there’s plenty of sizzling entertainment, there’s also an even bigger focus this year on food and all things culinary. The Delicious Restaurant will be hosted by Celebrity MasterChef SA judge Pete Goffe-Wood with food demonstrations by Food Network celebrity chefs Reza Mahammad, Siba and Jenny Morris.
The change of location will not affect the high quality of performances and cuisine that will be offered at the festival.
If you’re serious about good food and want to win a set of double tickets to the festival, simply name one of the celebrity chefs that will be at the DStv Delicious International Food and Music Festival.
