Music festival for Drak event
The FNB Drak Music Experience is set to take the Drak to the next level.
CELEBRATING its 25th anniversary, the popular N3TC Drak Challenge Canoe Marathon on 20 and 21 February has been taken to a new level by the introduction of the FNB Drak Music Experience concert on the Saturday afternoon headlining the hugely popular local singer songwriter Matthew Mole.
The concert is designed to integrate the large community of athletes and their families visiting the Underberg/Himeville area for the popular canoeing weekend, the Euro Steel Drak Descent mountain bikers and GWK Sani Spoors Run The River trail runners, with the local community in an afternoon of entertainment at the Underberg Country Club.

Staged by Impi Concept Events, the concert will start at 2pm with a number of bands including the popular Durban band The Kickstands, Seb Goldswain and the hip blue-billy folk pop band Georgetown before Matthew Mole takes to the stage to perform his best known hits at around 5.30pm. The festivities will continue into the evening with a DJ entertaining the revellers.
The FNB Drak Music Experience is a picnic style concert. Entry to the concert will be free for all athletes registered for the canoeing, mountain biking and trail running events through the armbands that they will receive in their race packs – one for themselves and one for their seconder – while public tickets will cost R30.
A big crowd is expected to attend the FNB Drak Music Experience, and organisers will cap attendance at 3 000 people to safeguard the quality of the experience for every concert-goer.
