Overview
About
Rocking the Daisies is an open-air music and arts festival held at the Cloof Wine Estate near Darling, in South Africa's Western Cape. Founded in 2005, it has grown into the country's largest outdoor camping festival, featuring around 250 acts across roughly a dozen stages spanning rock, electronic, indie and homegrown South African music. Its name nods to the annual bloom of Cape daisies that carpets the region in late September, and the event is known for its eco-conscious ethos alongside a lineup that mixes music with comedy and film.
