Since the summer of 1990 Up The Creek Festival has been hosted at Up The Creek river camp, set between a dirt road and the welcoming waters of the Breede River.
With a Main Stage, a River Stage and a Late-Night Stage– none hosting acts at the same time- you are guaranteed to be entertained throughout. And although Rock ‘n Roll is our original stamp of choice, we have different types of music mixed into the line-up; plenty pop, some indie folk, a couple DJ acts and the odd violin solo on top a kombi!
While the festival is one of few remaining that still allow you to camp next to your car (should you choose), there is also a greener campsite where no cars are allowed and a tented hotel (Heartbreak Motel) if you don’t fancy pitching a tent yourself.
There will be plenty to eat, from snacks and local farm fare to all sorts of vegan and vegetarian delights, as well as gourmet coffees, crepes and cool-drinks. So don’t worry to bring along the kitchen sink- our food court will surely have something that tickles your taste buds.
Think about it, where else can you float in a warm river, head-bang to sick soulful, rocking tunes and sip on one of our classic cocktails; the Titanic, Iceberg or Rubber Duck.
So remember, it doesn’t matter if you have big biceps or skinny jeans, or an ironic moustache, or a non-ironic one. At Up The Creek you can be yourself, and still make friends.
And for heaven sakes bring some cool floating stuff to put in the river. Think lilos, inflatable tubes and just about anything that floats.
In the meantime, find them on their Facebook page – they make all announcements there first- facebook.com/UpTheCreek.MusicFestival , check them out on Twitter @Upthe_Creek and follow them on Instagram @upthecreek_festival.
There is only one ticket type, a full weekend access pass. This allows you into the festival from Thursday until Sunday. (Please note: they do not sell day passes or cheaper tickets.)
Your festival ticket includes access to the festival campsites, which have awesome ablutions for all!
