Clarens,
situated in the foothills of the beautiful Maluti and Rooiberg Mountains, is
nicknamed the “Jewel of the Free State” and the town and surrounding area is a
popular weekend destination for residents of Johannesburg, Pretoria and
Bloemfontein. The well frequented village offers some of the most tranquil
surrounds and spectacular views known throughout South Africa.
Lush
Festival, taking place on the stunning Linwood Farm caters for the perfect
festival set up and features an incredible line-up of top musicians and
electronic acts. Two international acts are confirmed to headline the festival,
namely Xavier Rudd and Civil Twilight. Xavier Rudd is one of Australia's most
iconic voices. A multi-instrumentalist, surfer and activist, Xavier returns to
South Africa, this time with his full band, after his first tour in 2013
performing at the first-ever Parklife Festival, which has become Johannesburg’s
favourite inner-city festival. Civil Twilight, originally from Cape Town and
now based in Nashville, catapulted into international stardom with their single
“Letters From The Sky”. They are once again dominating SA Radio with their
single “When, When” taken from their brand new album “Story of an Immigrant”.
We look forward to hosting these two incredible live acts at Lush Festival.
The
first of many local acts to be announced include The Parlotones, Jeremy Loops,
Francois van Coke, Goodluck, Al Bairre, Grassy Spark, Rubber Duc, Pop Art Live,
Austin Cassim, Chunda Munki, Vimo, Michael Lowman, Josie Field & Laurie
Levine, Majozi, Howie Combrink and Josh Wantie.
The
music stages are one of kind and each one unique by sound and view. The first
stage is perfectly nestled in the woods, creating a natural frame of acoustic sound
by nature. The second stage, a charmingly renovated barn offering picturesque
views of the farm and the third, laying upwards towards a distinctive sandstone
cliffs that Clarens is so well known for, huddled between two beautiful old
willow trees, beside the river.
An
early bird festival ticket which includes general camping is only R395 and is
on sale until Monday the 8th of February. There is also a special Plus Camping
area at an additional cost of R600 per ticket and limited to only 350 people.
The private area will allow for spacious camping and is alongside a small
stream with points of shade under the willow trees. It is well positioned
alongside the Harambee Hotel and will be close enough to be convenient but far
enough to be more peaceful, and will have its own toilets and showers. The
festival also hosts a glam camping section hosted by Harambee Hotel. Each
luxury hotel style tent sleeps 2 with single or double bed options, lights,
power points for charging phones and includes a few extra creature comforts
including a restaurant catering for Breakfast (included in the price).
Activities
available to Lush participants will include an official trail run and fun run,
a three day Mountain biking tour event, and guests can also take advantage of
nature trails, abseiling, rafting, horseback riding, hiking, hot air
ballooning, and much more on offer in the area.
Lush
Festival is the perfect long weekend getaway that has everything to offer. Make
Lush Festival in Clarens your destination for the most idyllic Easter Weekend
breakaway.
