Rocking the Daisies is an eco-friendly music festival where visitors can pitch a tent, move to the beat of the music and make a lot of new friends. And the location – on a Cape wine estate surrounded by flowering daisies – couldn’t be better.
The Western Cape is filled with lots of treats for locals and visitors. They have excellent wine farms, a rocking night life and some of South Africa’s best musicians were born and bred in this part of the country.
This Darling rock festival is in its 4th year at the Cloof Wine Estate, and the numbers of festival goers have been growing like a well-watered plant. They are expecting a crowd of between 10 000 and 15 000 people this year.
The line-up of artists is superb, from the finest of local rock, dance and acoustic bands to the funkiest beats from several DJs that will entertain the crowds from dusk ‘till dawn. And when the hunger strikes, you will be looked after by a whole arsenal of festival restaurants and food stalls.
The best part of this Darling music festival is definitely its green status. Rocking the Daisies is mostly powered by bio-diesel generators. They even print the festival tickets on 100% hemp paper and provided festival goers with 100% biodegradable soaps and shampoos. At the 2008 festival, 19 of the 20 tons of waste that was collected, were recycled.
