"Up The Creek 2025" Promises an International Twist with Stellar Music Line-Up

In the heart of the South African festival scene, "Up The Creek" has always stood out for its vibrant fusion of music and nature. As February 2025 approaches, Creekers are buzzing with anticipation for a 4-day extravaganza that promises to set the Breede River banks alight with rhythm and soul.

Under new ownership, South African artist Jeremy Loops and BreakOut Events' Damon Forbes have taken the reins, pledging to elevate the iconic event to even greater heights. Blending their industry expertise with local vibes and international flair, they're ready to enchant festival-goers with an experience that remains true to the Creek ethos while expanding its horizons.

Last year's excitement palpable, Early Bird tickets for the 2025 event flew off the virtual shelves, echoing the Creeker’s appetite for this much-beloved music getaway. Record-breaking attendances of previous years are set to be challenged, yet the festival retains its intimate allure by capping attendees at a cozy 3,000, preserving the essence that makes "Up The Creek" a soulful meet for music lovers.

Set to take place from February 6-9, returning to its picturesque riverside setting near Swellendam, the festival's line-up has never been brighter. In a historic first, Australian indie-folk band Hollow Coves will be gracing the stage, adding a fresh international flavor to the robust local line-up featuring Francois Van Coke, Matthew Mole, and numerous other South African favorites.

Those familiar with the event can anticipate the same top-tier local acts, sumptuous food stalls, and the ever-present sense of camaraderie unique to "Up The Creek". For newcomers, expect a music oasis where sundrenched days blend into starlit nights, all set against the rolling current of the Breede River.

With a gentle nod to its 1990 origins, the festival has grown into a cornerstone for cultural expression and communal celebration. From the electrifying performances to the sprawling campsites, "Up The Creek 2025" is gearing up to be a chorus of creativity, unity, and unforgettable memories.
