Up The Creek 2013 is coming at the end of January next year and it’s going to be another awesome one – I can fill this on my trousers. The line-up for the 2013 edition of what has become one of South Africa’s most renowned music festivals was recently announced.
Without further ado, the line-up for Up The Creek 2013 includes: Karen Zoid, ISO, YOAV, Jeremy Loops, BEAST, Dave Ferguson, Goodnight Wembley, Machineri, Tailor, Tombstone Pete, Piet Botha & Liz, Peachy Keen, Lucy Kruger, The Mysticcs, No One`s Arc, the Black Cat Bones, Nomadic Orchestra, Grassy Spark, Dirty Bounce, December Streets, Woodstock Mafia, Trenton & the Radicals, Saint Fearless, Desmond & The Tutus, Taxi and Friends, Janie and the Beard, Shotgun Tori, Akkedis, Nik Rabinowitz, Peter Mitchell and DJ Dirtroad.

In 2011 I made my way to Oppikoppi Unknown Brother. It was the 13th Oppikoppi festival that I attended since 1998 (including 3 Easter Oppikoppis). My friends and I were there from the Thursday to the Monday morning and it was an awesome tune-packed, dust-infested and booze-enhanced weekend in the Limpopo bushveld. It was also the first time that I received media accreditation for an Oppikoppi festival.
