Lake of Stars rated top African festival by CNN
The Lake of Stars Festival has been listed as a must see music festival in Africa by CNN. The CNN described the event as “one of Africa’s most respected festivals”.
CNN reported that there is never a dull moment at this event; some performers have been known to do their sets from trees, while the Minister of Tourism even skydived into the festival.
The festival has been hailed for incorporating international artists who are paid a fee for their performance such as The Noisettes, Oliver Mtukudzi, and FreshlyGround from previous seasons of the festival.
The festival has been hailed variously as “simply the finest festival in the world” and “the world’s most spectacular music festival” by major media outlets.
The Lake of Stars Festival shares the list with HIFA in Zimbabwe, Cape Town International Jazz Festival in South Africa, Sauti Za Busara in Tanzania, Marrakesh Popular Festival of the Arts in Morocco, Bushfire Festival in Swaziland and Vic Falls Carnival in Zimbabwe.
The Lake of Stars Festival has been running annually for the past decade and will, this year, be held at Sunbird Nkopola Beach in Mangochi from September 26 to 28.
