East Coast Breakfast perform on Splashy Fen's acoustic stage with The Kickstands

In case you missed it on our airwaves, over the last three weeks Darren Maule has been on a mission to convince his colleagues to travel to Splashy Fen with him. After much convincing, they finally said yes!

In exchange for the VIP treatment the team will receive at Splashy Fen, they needed to create and perform a song for the Splashy Fen acoustic stage. Luckily, the team have a secret weapon up their sleeve. 

Thanks to the help of KZN's local music stars, The Kickstands, as well as fellow East Coasters, this song will come together. 

Take a look at some behind-the-scenes of this musical journey: 

This journey has been nothing short of spectacular. The involvement from the Splashy community, creative lyrics from our fellow East Coasters, and keen attitude from those who may never have attended before, were instrumental in making this happen. 

Take a look at how this one-of-a-kind song came together on the renowned Acoustic Stage:

With unwavering optimism and the help of some annual Splashy attendees, Stu paints a vivid picture of the festival – vibrant music, camaraderie around camp, and the exhilarating thrill of embracing nature.

Here’s more on SA’s friendliest festival: 

There is so much to do over the festival weekend. As a local Underberg resident, Andrew van Rensburg is the festival’s Creative Director and Site Creator. Van Rensburg spends most of his year tending to the Splashy Fen event space, making sure that when fans arrive on site there is hot water in the showers, the hip-high grass is cut, the roads are prepared, and the entire site is fully functional and ready to welcome over 6,000 fans for four days of fun!
