"We are extremely excited to have worked a deal to bring an international artist to Splashy Fen in 2016," said the business director of Impi Concept Events, Stu Berry. "Music is a global language and Splashy has not had many international performers over the years.
"The announcement of Xavier Rudd and his band as one of our headliners is a massive occasion for Splashy Fen and all those who have supported the festival over the years.
"We are thrilled to announce Xavier Rudd to the line-up of musicians to Splashy Fen 2016, but will continue to remain true to Splashy's core values with regards to supporting local South African acts, which will make up over 90% of our line-up," reassured Berry.
Other festival acts include South African favourites Mango Groove, GoodLuck, Dan Patlansky, Grassy Spark, The Kickstands, Chico Muyo and many more still to be announced.
Over 80 musicians will perform for fans across five unique stage areas throughout the four-day festival.
The Splashy Fen new-look website also launched earlier this week and, along with its social media channels, promises to keep fans informed and up to date with new act announcements, ticket sales information and general festival plans.
Early-bird tickets are now on sale, starting at R590 to the first 1000 tickets and are available at www.splashyfen.co.za
Splashy Fen 2016 - The Revival takes place from 24 to 27 March, 2016.
