The well loved Rocking the Daises Festival is one of the country’s largest and most highly anticipated outdoor Music and Lifestyle gatherings, where a fun-filled and free loving attitude takes hold and everyone connects over local music, art, film and comedy in a wonderful setting. Leave no friend behind and let your summer start with a bang at this year’s Rocking the Daises Festival, taking place at the Cloof Wine Estate in Malmesbury.

The Rocking the Daisies concert is celebrating it’s 12^th year this time around and as everyone knows by now, this is not a festival to miss! Festival goers can expect a multi-faceted and amazing long weekend where dancing, (safe) drinking, meeting like-minded people and simply having a blast are in tall order. Discover your creative energy and chill out with your mates, choose when you want to eat or sleep (if at all) and make some of the best memories of your life.

Taking place this year from the 5^th to the 8^th of October just as the first warmth of Summer sets in around Cape Town and flip flop season officially begins, Darling’s Rocking the Daisies Festival is all ready to go, with an amazing line up of artists already getting fans on their feet. As South Africa’s biggest festival of this kind, multi-genre music and groundbreaking production are just a few things that keep it real and keep it good – true to their motto of “Play hard, tread lightly”.

Some of South Africa’s favourite musical masterminds have been selected to keep up with the Festival’s reputation for kick-ass music and epic vibes –the main features include a visually demanding DJ set by Flume (due to popular demand) and will be followed by jams from artists like The Naked and Famous, Cassper Nyovest, Snakehips, Black Coffee, Two Doors Cinema Club and the sweet hits of Fokofpolisiekar and Die Heuwels Fantasties, to mention but a few. With such an amazing variety of live music to keep Rocking the Daisies truly rocking, there is no way music and party fans can afford to miss out.

For locals, the Malmesbury area of Cape Town is close enough to catch a drive up with friends, but if you are coming to this year’s Rocking the Daisies Festival from anywhere else in the country (or the world…), why not scratch ‘unforgettable road trip’ off your bucket list and plan the ultimate road trip with friends? Enjoy some of Cape Town’s most amazing sights and get caught up in the truly beautiful drive along the West Coast.
