In March 2016 I attended my fifth Mieliepop Festival (near Lothair in Mpumalanga). That year the festival returned after a 2-year hiatus, so it was a lekker weekend (filled with great vibes, great peeps and lekker tunes).
What can I remember about Mieliepop 2016?
I can’t remember the whole Mieliepop 2016 line-up (which was amazeballs), but I do remember being pretty money-conscious that weekend (because it was before payday) – It didn’t stop me from snapping some pics and partying my arse off though.
Hellcats played a lekker set that weekend. They even turned my friend Colette into a superfan. It was one of the most epic sets I’ve seen by them and that’s the reason why I selected a photo I snapped of them as the photo of the week on SA Music Zone.
If you haven’t been to Mieliepop Festival yet, you should definitely check it out. The next edition is coming up in March 2024. Get more info about that HERE.
