Lockdown Live with Splashy Fen

SPLASHY Fen fans can put their disappointment at the postponement of the festival aside with the announcement that Impi Concept Eents have created a free virtual festival for festival diehards.

Taking place from Thursday, 9 April to Saturday, 11 April, fans can enjoy the Lockdown Live, a three-day virtual Splashy Fen Music Festival which they can watch online from the comfort of their homes.

Over the course of the three days, fans can enjoy a carefully curated selection of live music, streamed from each musician’s home or private studio, with artists like Goldfish, Veranda Panda, Goodluck, Donovan Copley from Hot Water, Gary Nixon from the Kickstands, Steve Umculo, Freddy-L and more performing for all Splashy Fen fans.

There is more than just music -there will be a 9am yoga class on Friday and workouts with a fitness coach on Thursday and Saturday. Learn healthy plant-based recipes, entertain the children with an arts and craft session on Friday at 10am, and be entertained with live comedy from East Coast Radio’s Darren Maule, Neil Green and Rory Petzer.

Fans can also sit back and watch a series of festival and music tributes that take a look behind the scenes, and some proudly South African content that is sure to bring a happy tear to your eye.

Following that will be Splashy Fen’s creative director, Fuzzy van Rensburg who talks about building the Splashy Fen site, Jeremy Loops, Liam Magner from Veranda Panda, Australian performers from 2019 Juzzie Smith and The Pierce Brothers, as well as the 2020 headlining act Coleman Hell.

What would a Splashy Fen weekend be without tents?

The #splashytentchallenge will also take place over the Easter long weekend, where fans are challenged to pitch their tent in their garden, lounge, bar, or bedroom. Fans can snap a picture or video and post it to Splashy Fen’s social media pages using the hashtag: #splashytentchallenge to stand a chance to win their share of R10 000 in prizes.

The online festival is free. Tune in via the online link, or catch it live on the Splashy Fen website or social media pages: https://youtu.be/N2kktTQjSxU.
