Cape Town Leg of Coke Fest Changes Venue
The Cape Town leg of the Coca-Cola Zero Fest, slated to take place on Monday, 13 April 2009, has been relocated to the Lourensford Wine Estate near Somerset West - apparently in order to better accommodate fans.
Right now event organisers would probably bend over backwards to accommodate the fans after the disappointing announcement that two international acts have withdrawn from performing at the 11th hour. Welsh band Bullet for my Valentine and US band The Red Jump Apparatus have both cancelled, much to the chagrin of fans who have shelled out between R300 and R600 for tickets to the event. The organisers have been refunding fans who only wanted to attend the festival to see those bands.
Fest-goers who have already paid for their tickets to the Cape Town event and who would still like to attend needn’t be concerned about changing their tickets, as these will still be accepted at the new venue.
The estate will open from 07:00. The festival site will open at 09:00. Parking will be available on-site at no extra cost. Attendees are advised to get there early to avoid traffic congestion and long queues.
Despite the disappointment about the cancelled acts, there are still a stellar line-up of local and international heavyweights which include Oasis, Panic! At the disco and Snow Patrol which will entertain fans during the 12-hour festival.
