This November sees the return of South Africa's rock, reggae and blues festival, Mieliepop.

 

This year, with a line-up of South African acts, Mieliepop has announced the inclusion of Men Without Hats as the headline act and '80s music fans will remember this quirky and innovative band and their huge hits Safety Dance and Pop Goes the World.  Their high-energy show features all these favourites, as well as material from their 2012 album Love in the Age of War.

 

After rave reviews of the second annual festival in October 2012, Mieliepop will return to its venue, just two and a half hours from Johannesburg/Pretoria at the Tolderia Resort (Mpumalanga).

 

Mieliepop set out to create a festival with a unique approach - a boutique festival where the scenery is breath-taking, the musicians are genuinely talented and the tickets are limited.

 

"We really create a relaxed festival environment where there are no queues, clean ablutions for all and an environment where music lovers can really just kick-back, relax and enjoy some of the best music in South Africa," says the organisers.

 

The 2013 edition of Mieliepop festival promises to feature some local favourites, including Albert Frost, Shawn Phillips, Crystal Park, Naming James, Kinky Robot, G Force, Valient, Swart, Riders From The Storm, Radio Kalahari Orkes, Nakhane Toure, Jonny Guy and many others.

 

Tickets are R550 per person for a full weekend pass or R350 for a day pass.
