Don’t make plans between 28 January and 31 January 2016 because Jägermeister will be setting up a camp, just outside of Swellendam for three days and three nights.
Jägermeister presents Up The Creek Music Festival 2016 is taking place on the banks of the magnificent Breede River from 28 – 31 January. The line-up includes South African musicians, DJ`s and singer-songwriters that are current, vibey, hot and happening!
1. Thursday night: Get there on the first night; make the most of your ticket and don’t miss out on what always is a really special evening. There will be great live collaborations, some new acts and a surprise performance after The Black Cat Bones close the Main Stage.
2. Signature drinks: This year there is the Titanic (aka the infamous ‘big blue’ drink) back again, the Life Raft (Sedgwick`s Old Brown with Ginger Ale) and the Rubber Duck, a mix of vodka, Sedgwick`s and Orange Juice- easy.
3. The River on Saturday: No one has ever attended the festival and missed out on the river but there is something new happening in the river . A longstanding competition at Up The Creek encouraging attendees to build wild and wonderful floating contraptions, from beds to couches and bars, all in the name of some much-coveted prizes. The titles up for grabs this year are:
Best Float:
This prize goes to the most original, super fantastic float. The float that has us gasping in delight because of its sheer brilliance, the float that steals the hearts of onlookers and photographers alike, the float that will make many people say “now why didn’t I think of that!” Win “Best Float” and you’ll get a bunch of great stuff including a hamper from Sedgwick`s Old Brown, two tickets to Up the Creek 2017 and two tickets to a Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concert of your choice, as well as a Ray-Ban hamper!
The Most Romantic Float:
Love is in the water! If you have the most romantic float we`ll treat you and your loved one to a bottle of cold bubbly, two tickets to Up the Creek 2017 and two tickets to a Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concert of your choice.
The Float with the Mostest:
How many people can you pack onto your float? A lot we hope. The winner will get a free Titanic cocktail for every person standing on your float. Get everyone near and far to jump on board.
4. Sedgwick`s food court stage: Hidden away inside our wonderful food court is the open-mic food court stage. Bring your instrument and/or your voice, plug in and entertain everyone. As a festival attendee you’re bound to find something of interest, so sit around a table of strangers, enjoy your meal of choice and walk away with new friends.
5. Albert Frost & Robin Auld: Make sure you don’t rush off home on the Sunday morning because Albert & Robin are a special addition to this year’s line-up and you won’t want to miss the opportunity to catch them live at the Creek.
