Prepare yourself for the third edition of Rise & Shine Festival

Earlier in 2013 South African music lovers were entertained by two editions of the Rise & Shine Festival (one in March and one in June). This one day festival has quickly grown into one of the top events on the Johannesburg and Gauteng musical and social calendar.

The first two editions of Rise & Shine festival featured awesome acoustic performances by the Black Cat Bones, Naming James, Francois van Coke, Them Particles, Laurie Levine, Lucy KrugerJeremy Loops, Shadowclub and other brilliant South African artists and great news for music fans is that the third edition’s line-up doesn’t look disappointing either.

Love local music? Looking for a chilled out way to spend a Saturday? Rise & Shine festival may just be that activity you’ve been looking for. I have been to the second edition of this awesome festival I can tell you that the atmosphere is more chilled out than any other day festival that I’ve attended in recent times. The atmosphere is relaxed, the beer is cold, there’s some really good food to eat and the music is simply amazing. If you support this festival you’ll also be doing your bit for the environment: the folks from Rise and Shine Festival will plant a tree for every 50  people who are attending the festival.
