As the world continues to battle the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, festivals around the world have been cancelled. However, Oppikoppi, one of the largest and longest-running music festivals in the country, is adapting and has confirmed a two-day party happening from the comfort of your living room as they take the festival online.
In a statement, the festival says that “OppiKoppi mense are no strangers to unexpected pitfalls, astonishing calamities and mandatory masks. Their eternal optimism is boosted by dust loads of creativity and the collective want for a damn good time. They continue to flourish and remain the thorn in the establishment’s side. Mostly, we masquerade as responsible and functioning beings, but deep down, our socks don’t match, and we sow pandemonium volubly. In lieu of the (current) global pandemic and other extenuating circumstances the OppiKoppi agenda has been tweaked to bring you an online music safari on Sunday 9th and Mon 10th August.”
This year sees OppiKoppi return on the world class ‘Urban Sessions’ platform. Taking place on 09 and 10 August via livestream, OppiKoppi will bring Bittereinder, Bubbles, DJ Bob, Femi Koya, Focalistic, Hellcats, Jacques Moolman, Kenzhero, Luma, Stogie T, Urban Village to your home.
Hosted by Catherine Grenfell with musically driven content featuring Koppi stories and shared tunes; OppiKoppi Weekender will create new memories with these custodians of fine tunes.
Tickets are available on Computicket now at R140 for a two-day pass or R80 for a one-day pass.
