Festival feverish

Holy disco lights this weekend is pumping big time. The slicker than ever Rocking the Daisies and In the City, debut of the Octopia FSTVL, shnit Short Film Festival, Baxter Dance Festival, DStv Delicious International Food & Music Festival and rAge gaming festival are all vying for attention in Cape Town and Gauteng in the next couple of days! Make sure you get on board at least one "festival bus" to avoid fomo.

In line with festival fever and our content focus on sustainability this month we interview Rocking the Daisies founder Brian Little about festival greening and the new initiatives seen as this year's RTD.

In other top story news I review the #StellaSessions; a bottomless bubbly special at The Cullinan, the Galileo Open Air Cinema announces this season's line-up and Brian Berkman reviews the new features seen at the Four Seasons Hotel.

We've got three new comps for you: tickets to Oktoberfest, the Last Fighter Standing SA National Championship and the Tshwane 10s are all up for grabs!
