King Price and Matchbox Live have teamed up again to bring fans the third instalment of the Lekkerland Carnival, on the 23rd March 2019. This year the festival is literally bigger and better as it will take place over a long weekend and the lineup of acts will not disappoint. This year, the Lekkerland stage will host stars Bobby van Jaarsveld, Janie Bay, Spoegwolf, The Betsie Beers, The Dullybuggers and Roan Ash. Returning artists include crowd favourites Matthew Mole and The Barbosa Experience.

Since selling out the very first Lekkerland Carnival, this country festival has become a staple on the festival calendar. This year, we’re making a long weekend of it with lots happening from Friday 22nd to Sunday 24th . Fans will be treated again to spectacular live acts and family-focused entertainment led by our #lekkerrr MCs Bennie Fourie and Bouwer Bosch.

Off-stage, the the BDI Street Performance Troupe will be amping up the #lekkerrr factor with jugglers and stilt walkers. Kids are fully catered for with jumping castles, pony rides and more for their enjoyment. Bring your trainers or mountain bike and enter our Lekkerrr Run and MTB ride before the main event – kids welcome.

The Lekkerland Carnival is again being hosted in Dullstroom, Mpumalanga, known for its quirky shops, inspiring galleries, places to eat and accommodation to suit everyone’s pocket. It’s just a 2.5-hour drive from both Johannesburg and Pretoria, making it the perfect long-weekend getaway. Catch a few shows around town on Friday night, chill at the Carnival on the Village Green on Saturday, and wind it down slowly on Sunday.

Also, due to accommodation selling out quickly the Lekkerrr Tent Hotel will be providing extra accommodation this year. It’s a pretty amazing camping experience if we say so ourselves. So, while there’s more to do than ever before, there’s also more space for more visitors. Which equals an invite to all your mates, right?

With the backing of King Price, a visionary company that’s changing the way insurance is done, one decreasing premium at a time, Lekkerland offers festival-going families a unique experience. Visit www.lekkerland.co.za to grab your tickets or you might just miss out on a #lekkerrr time.
