Oppikoppi The Fantastic Mr. Vos Vos is less than 20 days away and if excitement isn’t gripping you by the balls or bra-strap, then there just might be something wrong with you. Oppikoppi is turning 21 this year and I’ve been lucky enough to attend 17 Oppikoppis (3 of which were April festivals) over the years. The “dust bowl” has truly come a long way since that first festival I attended way back in 1998 and I’m really looking forward to seeing how it goes down.
More than 100 artists will be performing on 6 different stages from the 7th to the 9th of August 2015. You don’t need me to tell you that it’s going to be one hell of a jol (because Oppikoppi always is) and the line-up featuring acts like Gogol Bordello, Francois van Coke, aKING, Shortstraw, Johnny Clegg and countless other great acts should instantly sweep away any stupid doubts that you have in your mind.
If you’re looking forward to this year’s festival and you haven’t bought your ticket on Plankton.mobi yet, we have great news for you: The Grind Radio is giving away 4 tickets to Oppikoppi The Fantastic Mr. Vos Vos!
