Time for Up The Creek.

So it’s 2 days until Up The Creek. Are you packed and ready to go? You had better be. They even made a check list for you so you won’t forget to bring things like: your ticket, ID Book, tent, mattresses , camping chairs, torches, sleeping bag, duvet, sun block, insect repellent, toilet paper, camera, cap or hat, something warm, towel, pillow, headache pills, money, sunglasses, condoms, swimming kit, anything that floats – lilo, paddle, boat – and lastly, your friends and a good attitude.

For Three hundred die-hard Creekers, you  can pull in on Thursday, 4 February for a chilled out preview gig at the bar stage. For R100 extra, you can choose the best spot for your tent and kick-start the weekend’s carousing so that the place is cooking by the time the rest of your friends arrive.

You can look forward to performances by a selection of some of the best in the entertainment industry: The Dirty Skirts, Taxi Violence, The Rudimentals, Bed on Bricks, Flat Stanley, Dan Patlansky, Ashtray Electric, The Pretty Blue Guns, Dave Ferguson, The Black Cat Bones, Piet Botha,  Andra, Ryno Velvet, the Boulevard Blues Band, Akkedis, Van Coke Kartel (acoustic), Hot Water, The GODS, Willim Welsyn en die Sunrise Toffies and many more, who will be joined on stage by a selection of some seriously funny comedians, like Corné and Twakkie, Martin Evans and Dave Levinson. Are you excited yet?

This year they offer a special bus service to Up the Creek and back. The bus will depart from Cape Town and arrive at Up the Creek on the Friday afternoon at about 16h30. It will leave Up the Creek again on the Sunday afternoon at 15h00, giving you enough time to still chill out and catch all the amazing bands on the Sunday. Now how cool this that?
