Otterlake Easter Festival - ‘Rock for Conservation’ over the Easter Weekend



A brand new festival is set to rock Gauteng over the Easter Weekend just north of Pretoria. Revellers will enjoy the best of local rock music and great food and at the same time contribute toward the “Unite Against Poaching” campaign.

The Otterlake Easter Festival is set to take place from 28 March to 1 April in the serene surroundings of the Seringveld Conservancy, a bird sanctuary on the banks of the Roodeplaat River located east of Roodeplaat Dam, approximately 30kms from Pretoria central. The venue boasts 2 main bars, fully serviced veranda, dining room and cocktail lounge and a swimming pool. A stage and mobile bars will be setup for the event and food stalls will provide food during the festival. Camping facilities with toilets & hot showers available for the entire weekend and firewood & ice will be on sale.  

The line-up boasts some of the country’s finest rock acts, from the wealth of our local music talent. Artists confirmed so far are The Black Cat Bones, Piet Botha, The Smoking Mojos, Valiant Swart, Howlin Shibanski, Wolfgang Marrow, Aidan Martin, Jack Hammer, Hoot & Anny, The Dying Breed, The Fake Leather Blues Band, The Stellas, Die See, Cortina Whiplash, Mrs. B, Guns & Posers, Shotgun Tori, Juggernaught, Kabaal (klankbaan), Sun of the Gun, Crystal Park & The Stray Natives. DJ Dirtroad, DJ Legend, DJ Bongwater & DJ Henri will ensure that revellers will dance late into the night.

Gates open on Thursday at 3pm and the entertainment will start at 8pm. For the rest of the weekend the entertainment will start at 2pm. An extra highlight on Saturday eve will be Otterlake’s traditional Easter Fire Celebration.

Tickets for the weekend of fun cost only R300 and can be purchased online at www.otterlakefestival.co.za or from the Otterlake Easter Festival page on Facebook. Day tickets will be available at the gate. A portion of the festival proceeds will be donated towards the “Unite Against Poaching” campaign.

Lazy campers have the option to book a pre-pitched tent with mattresses, bed sheets, covered pillows, bed cover, blankets, LED lantern and a small carpet. More details are available on the Otterlake Festival website (www.otterlakefestival.co.za).
