Oppikoppi
Oppikoppi ("on the hill") is a music festival held in the Limpopo Province of South Africa, near the mining town of Northam.
History
The festival started off focusing mostly on rock music, but gradually added more genres and now plays host to a complete mixed bag of genres. Anything from jazz, world music, house music, acoustic, comedy and all else in between can be heard on one of the multiple stages. Usually held in the first week of August when thousands of people used to flock to the farm to camp out in the bush and enjoy the music for several days. The festival features mostly South African bands, although international acts are included in the line-up.
