Headliners and up-and-comers

The much anticipated announcement of the Rocking the Daisies 2017 lineup just about broke the internet this past Monday (only slight exaggeration) and they seem to have yet again made it almost impossible to resist the lure of all those top acts, check the full lineup with headliners here!

We are squeezing the most out of the tail end of #YouthMonth with interviews with young up-and-comers; wine stars Callan Williams and Stephanie Wiid, the ‘slow fashion' founders of Jota-Kena as well as the CEO of Artscape about the current Youth Month festival programme.

In other top story news, Juanita Pienaar 'waxes nostalgic' about the Whitney Houston tribute currently on show at the Artscape, Leigh Andrews tests out the Abalone House winter special and I give five reasons to visit the De Hoop Nature Reserve.

Happy weekend!
