The organisers managed to remedy the situation quickly and smoothly, and by the time the headline artists started performing, the skies had cleared up.

Can’t wait to see what you do next year!’; ‘Congratulations! The Dolos Festival was, as usual, such fun’; ‘Well done to Elize Boshoff and the Dolos Festival team – the best one ever’.
