High five to Seed Experiences

Can we all just give Seed Experiences a good and proper high five? Today they announced that The Hives and Skunk Anansie will be joining alt-J and Boys Noize for In The City and Rocking The Daisies later this year. Now here is a bunch of people who understand the value of bringing relevant musicians to our shores.

The first 1000 tickets go on sale through the Standard Bank youth portal on Monday 16 April.You can buy them between 12 and 9 am and they will cost you R600 (that's R100 off the full price). These ticketholders will receive a limited edition Oppikoppi Festival Sweet Thing promotional shirt. Details on the issuing of the shirts will be sent to the ticketholders directly.

OppiKoppi 2012: Sweet Thing

Yes! OppiKoppi 2012's theme was announced today. Taken from a Van Morrisson song that was covered by The Waterboys, this year's theme is Sweet Thing. 

The Oppikoppi people commissioned fine artist, Gavin Rain, to come up with an image that would be used as source material. They then got the folks from janaandkoos.com to work their graphic design magic and voilà, this wonderful poster was born. 

Tickets are R700 on the OppiKoppi Facebook page (or R750 on Ticketbreak.co.za) but Standard Bank youth portal has said  that they will subsidise every ticket bought from them (www.standardbank.co.za/studentachiever) to the value of R150. In other words,  you only pay R600.

Keep an eye out as I update you on all the Oppi news that you'll need to know. 

Yay! Now I'm excited!
