Hailing from America, Michael Franti and Spearhead Trio are known for their authentic and uplifting music, finding global success with multi-platinum songs like “Say Hey (I Love You)” and “Once A Day”.
Franti is recognised globally as a pioneering force in the music industry, and giving back has always been at the heart of his mission. As a rapper, musician, poet and all-round good guy, Franti has dedicated his life to spreading the joy of music and positivity to millions of people; and promises to bring a powerful performance to thousands of eager Splashy Fenners.
Just as he did at the Splashy Fen 2016 Revival, Jeremy Loops and his musically gifted entourage will set the stage alight at Splashy Fen 2017. With a recent sold-out show at the Durban Botanical Gardens’ Music at The Lake series, Loops is bound to have the audience clapping their hands, stomping their feet and singing along.
Local artist Nibs van der Spuy has been confirmed for Friday’s main stage performance at Splashy Fen 2017.
Raised in KwaZulu-Natal, he quickly soaked up a rich tapestry of his close surroundings and has formulated a truly consummate and original sound that all music loving fans can appreciate. Van der Spuy will also be performing an intimate set at the new Treehouse stage.
Over 200 musicians will perform for fans across five unique stage areas throughout the iconic four-day festival – with the new Treehouse stage adding a whimsical element to the festivities.
The Splashy Fen 2017 confirmed lineup includes Australian megastars, The Temper Trap, The Springbok Nude Girls, The Parlotones, Shortstraw, Veranda Panda, Rodney Branigan, The Subway Run, Jack Parow, The Kickstands, December Streets, Desmond and the Tutus, and many more.
Splashy Fen 2017 will take place over the traditional Easter weekend from the 13th to the 16th of April. Tickets are available at www.splashyfen.co.za.
