Hello all,
Good news for all the music fans out there!! At the end of September, 21-23 to be exact, there will be a music festival at Thabazimbi. Christened Metal Farm 2 and described as the ultimate METAL festival… on the Botswana border. With claims that there will be free drinks the whole weekend you can only wonder what Monday will be like? With three bands performing for the first time we can really get to see what’s happening in the local metal scene and also just getting to see some of the older metal heads scream their sorrows away. Yay!! A real treat for us starved metal heads.
I can already hear you asking where in the world is Thabazimbi? With a little help from SA explorer I found out too. J As you can see on the link it’s about 150 km from the Botswana border so if you go make sure you have enough supplies, it really is a bundu bash for those of us who never get to brave the back garden. J I only hope we don’t need off road vehicles to get there!!
All in all there are 16 bands scheduled over the course of the weekend with six bands on the Friday night and seven on the Saturday of which a few will be performing for the first time Rhutz and Hush, to name the first two that come to mind. The talk of Metal Farm 2 is supposedly, The Ocean Doesn’t Want Me, can’t say I’ve heard them before but I eagerly await a titbit of sound! Other bands include Urban Vitamin, Chaos Theory and Forever Will Burn.
With free booze and a weekend of metal you can surly count me in! If you would also like to come through and support the local metal scene at Metal Farm 2 click on this link for prices and ticket availability but I’m warning you now, there are only 500 tickets available and I’m pretty sure they’re selling like hot cakes.
See you there.
