    wow this is insightful and one is left envious of those who will be attendeing. thanks for clarifying the costs, now it makes sense why the price is steep. local and international artist on the line up. so what do you think other provinces who also do musical festivals do to improve and become just like macufe? is it totally sponsored by the department of the free state?

      It is very rare that you get to watch an international artist at a low price such as R250. In order for other provinces to improve their music festival they should plan it well,advertise it well and include international artists and local artists together.

      Yes it is an interesting event and each and every year it grows bigger and bigger each year. And in a way the artist performing will be promoting themselves.

    This event is going to be a hit. It is more credible because even artists from overseas are going to be attending and singing. I am looking forward as I will also be present. Good job to the people who have been planning this lovely event.

    I really wanted to go there, but could not go due to unforeseen circumstances. I hear from people who went there that the event is a huge success and especially the entertainment part. People were all dressed up, the food was on pint. Everything seemed to be going according to the plan. A big thank you to the event organisers hopefully I won’t miss it next year, and that I will be part of the planning of the event.
