The festival itself has been running for 26 years, a unique statistic not only for a music brand in South Africa, but worldwide. Now under new management (Impi Concept Events), the festival is set for a partial rebirth and three key factors have been identified by the event as the driving forces behind their decision making, namely: • The Music: ensuring a diverse, quality and enjoyable music line-up. • Value For Money: Ensuring ticket holders leave Splashy Fen with a feeling of value for money. • The Community: Ensuring a positive economic influence on the local community.
