Win tickets to Holi Festival of Colours [CLOSED]

And even better news is that the Sun has five double tickets to give away to keen readers.
Get ready to paint the town red, blue, green and yellow; in fact pick your favourite colour as the Holi Festival of Colours 2013 World Tour prepares to transform Berea Rovers Club on 28 December into a multi-coloured dance floor.
Strictly for over 18s, this not-to-be-missed event has taken place in more than 14 countries and over 38 cities worldwide.
Holi is one of the largest festivals in India, announcing the arrival of spring and the passing of winter and also marks the victory of the good over the bad. During the Holi celebrations, the caste system is out of force and all people are considered equal – the symbol for that being the colours.

The Holi Festival celebrates the statement that all people are equally coloured. The festival breathes an atmosphere of laughter and is an expression of joy with people burying their hatchets and throwing their worries to the wind. As such, the Holi Festival of Colours supports one of Holi’s biggest customs of loosening the strictness of social structures and bringing together communities in an exhilarating experience. The Holi Festival of Colours is not a religious event in any way and is open to all races, religions and nationalities. The festival captures the spirit of Holi and the positive energy it preaches.
Every hour on the hour from 2pm, a countdown culminates in partygoers throwing their powder into the air to create a massive explosion of colour. The coloured powder is environmentally friendly, non-toxic and allergen free. The powder is sold at the event for R20 per sachet with five different colours available.
On the decks, the line-up includes big names such as LCNVL, DJ Fresh, Pascal and Pearce and Napalma (live). An extended line-up will be released later this month.
Locnville (LCNVL) is a multi-award winning and bestselling electronic duo consisting of twin brothers, Andrew and Brian Chaplin. Their latest offering, Faster Longer Mixtape has received mass critical acclaim, spawning the chart and topping singles Closer and The Year 3000.
The much-loved 5FM DJ Fresh dropped his law studies and pursued radio full-timeby joining YFM in 1997. Fresh was heading up the YFM breakfast team by 2003, followed by the morning show on Metro FM and was quickly snapped up by 5FM shortly after that. His is currently one of 5FM’s most popular shows. He also has a list of successful house albums to his name.
