This year’s festival will see local and international legends spin the decks at what will be the last Grietfest to be held at the venue.
International guests this year include Koan Sound, Black Sun Empire, Far Too Loud, and Etnik.
“We… are slowly building our way to being the only platform in the country to host the masters of their craft from all over the world, [who] may not enjoy commercial success, but are barrier-breaking trailblazers that make it possible for others to walk through doors they never thought possible,” said festival spokesperson Rachelle Crouse.
“From acts like Bart B More, Fool, Haezer, Tai, The Upbeats, TC, Trumpdisco, Pelussje, QG and more. We’ve had great producers from all over the world perform at our festival to 3 000 people they know have a true passion for their music.”
