kykNET Backsberg Picnic Concerts - Franschhoek

The sound waves are sizzling at beautiful Backsberg this summer! There is no better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than relaxing in the sun with a glass of fine wine as brilliant artists entertain you. Freshly Ground, Francois van Coke, Koos Kombuis, Dan Patlansky and many others will have you tapping your toes to their awesome acoustic vibes. There is a slight twist with the series this year as each of the performers will be bringing an up-and-coming artist with them to open the gig. The series runs in two parts this year – the first five gigs take place every Sunday from 20 November to 18 December 2011; the second five, also on Sundays, run from 22 January to 13 February 2012. Pack your umbrella, picnic blankets and lunches as kykNET and Backsberg take care of the rest. Audiences can choose to pre-book a special Backsberg picnic to enjoy with these sunset acoustic performances, or buy one of our famous lamb burgers at the venue. And, of course, it‘s just better with a glass of Backsberg wine. . Tickets cost R85 or R170 with a picnic and R100 at the gate. Children under 12 years get in free when accompanied by their parents. Admission to concert venue starts at 15:00, with the opening act starting at 16:00 and the main act at 17:00.
