Breakout Management are pleased to announce the debut of PARKLIFE, a new and exciting annual acoustic music festival taking place for the first time on Thursday 21 March 2013 at Marks Park, Joburg and Friday 22 March at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens in Cape Town! We are giving away two double tickets – one to each event! Read on to see how to win…

PARKLIFE Music Festival

The inaugural PARKLIFE event will see international festival favourite, acoustic folk star Xavier Rudd as headliner and also features a star studded local support line-up including Farryl Purkiss and Jeremy Loops among others.

Xavier Rudd, well known on the live music festival circuit throughout Australia, North America and Europe now brings his special blend of acoustic folk to South Africa for two exclusive shows. A unique, one-man band, Xavier plays surrounded by instruments in a complicated array. Typically, he has three didgeridoos placed in front of him on a stand, a guitar on his lap, a stompbox by his habitually bare feet, and an assortment of drums, harmonicas and bells. Many of Rudd’s songs incorporate socially conscious themes, such as spirituality, humanity, environmentalism and the rights of Aboriginal peoples. Rudd has become a popular feature at music festivals worldwide including the Bonnaroo Music Festival, Summer Sonic and Lowlands among others and has toured with Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews, Ben Harper and Rodrigo y Gabriela.

Well, I was already following @onesmallseedSA and @ParklifeSA on Twitter. I’ve made sure that I ‘like’ ‘em both on Facebook too.
And I’ve tweeted (twice) the link to this post.
So I guess now I just gotta wait and keep fingers crossed that I’m the JHB winner, so that I can live the Park Life with Xavier Rudd, Jeremy Loops, Faryl Purkiss and Plush

A ticket times two is all I’m after,
A grass spot that’s spacious and wide.
Friends that dance with joy and laughter
and the ones you love on site.

Some like the high road, I like the low road,
Free from the care and strife.
Sounds corny and seedy, but yes, indeed-y;
Give me the Parklife.
