Dalla sua inaugurazione nel 1990, lo Splashy Fen Music Festival si è affermato come uno dei più importanti festival musicali in Sudafrica e oggi riunisce migliaia di persone a Underberg, nella provincia di KwaZulu-Natal.

L’evento, ribattezzato “il Festival musicale più amichevole del Sudafrica”, celebra la vita, l’arte, la musica il divertimento nella cornice naturale dei monti The Drakensberg, sito Unesco Patrimonio dell’Umanità. Il Festival, il cui nome trae origine dalla tenuta in cui si svolge, è l’ambientazione ideale per organizzare un evento musicale grazie alla presenza di magnifici anfiteatri naturali, alla perfetta acustica, alla vista mozzafiato offerta dal paesaggio montano circostante e ai grandi campi pianeggianti ideali per una notte in tenda sotto le stelle.
