Oppikoppi is finally here everybody! And this week, Another-Day will make sure we get you amped for the festival. As you should know, The Eagles of Death Metal are headlining on Saturday evening at 18:00 on the James Phillips stage and people are fucking amped! I’ll admit, I haven’t been much of a fan of the band before and I don’t know why.
Hello. It’s Friday and I’m hungover. I don’t normally drink during the week but last night I did and today I hate everything. This has made it rather difficult to write about stuff… but here’s my attempt.
So after Oppi’s little international act announcement - which was kinda terrible – I felt it was about time to lay down what I think will set us here in South Africa on the right path to having a better music-orientated festival. Let’s not lie: most people go to Oppi to get shit-faced, while the music is a happy secondary concern.
After months of rumor-mongering by the uninformed, Oppikoppi kicked off the process of revealing which international artists they have confirmed for this year’s festivities. Being the culturally relevant mega-fest that they are, of course Oppi was able to track down the amazing talents of… Bullet For My Valentine.
Anyone else feel like they’ve just been sucked through a wormhole?
