Last year, the organisers emphasised the importance of keeping the festival local, saying that South African musicians are producing the best music.
“Everyone wants a piece of us,” said Ricardo Da Costa, who has been at the helm of putting the festival together. “So why are we going to bring an international? So we really chose to localise our line-up this year.
“We like to refer to Spring Fiesta dance culture as a national holiday. It’s a music and lifestyle festival that has five different stages; we've had up to seven stages before. And it really celebrates music and features all the relevant DJs and artists, both local and international.”
More popular artists are expected to deliver stellar performances across the different stages, with the hip hop stage yet to be announced.
