Great News! There are only 2 weeks to go before the awesomeness that is RAMFest 2013 Johannesburg kicks off on the 15th of March! Something just tells me that it’s going to be friggin’ awesome. And believe me. I don’t plan to miss out on this awesomeness!

RAMFest 2013 Johannesburg will be taking place at Riversands Farm in Fourways. It will be first time in festival history that the Joburg leg is held over 2 days, so you can expect double the amount of awesomeness. Camping tickets have already sold out for this event. This means that there are already about 6,000  music loving souls who will be crashing overnight at the festival. It looks like it might just be a bigger crowd than last year.

The RAMFest 2013 Johannesburg line-up is pretty damn awesome! Besides the fact the festival goers will get to see Bring Me the Horizon (from the UK), Rise Against (from the USA) and Pendulum (from the UK and Australia) they will also have the opportunity to see some awesome SA acts on The Red Heart Rum Stage, the Olmeca Tequila Electronic Stage and the Boom stage.

Local acts that you can look forward to at RAMFest 2013 Johannesburg include Jack Parow, Van Coke Kartel, Fuzigish, Black Cat Bones, Pestroy, BEAST, Mind Assault, Deity’s Muse, Double Adapter, Das Kapital, Veranda Panda, Sibot, Benson, Rude One, Reepa, Rambling Bones, Planet Joy, North of Winter, The Action Thrillers, Short Straw, Tamara Tree, City of Heroes, The Frown, The Smoking Mojos and others.

Van Coke Kartel’s set at RAMFest 2013 is going to be something special. Festival goers can expect 90 minutes of awesomeness with their set called “Sameswering”. The Van Coke Kartel set will feature appearances by George van der Spuy (Taxi Violence), Hunter Kennedy (Fokofpolisiekar and Die Heuwels Fantasties), Laudo Liebenberg (aKING), Jack Parow, Peach van Pletzen (Bittereinder and Yesterday’s Pupil) and Theo Crous (Springbok Nude Girls).
