Kruger2Canyon News (in collaboration with ‘Love the Hoed’) is a proud co-media sponsor of the Africa Wild Music Festival in Hoedspruit. The production will be the first of its kind in the Limpopo Province, and will be hosted by Africa Wild Entertainment (AWE) on the 11th November. It will feature three of South Africa’s top music artists in the country on the same bill. AWE promises to deliver this quality event on a scale never before seen in Hoedspruit or Limpopo, introducing a new standard in entertainment, which is specifically aimed at attracting a mass of non-organic tourism to Hoedspruit.
“Our objective is to create a series of truly world class events in Hoedspruit over time, and in so doing to showcase the unique and spectacular character of this location to an altogether different tourist market. The market readiness of this place is unusually good, given that the primary industry in Hoedspruit and surrounding areas is tourism, and the merits of the environment make it possible to establish a truly unique and differentiated event property here,” says company principal Roddy Quinn. “This will directly benefit the local economy and will give tourists one more reason to choose Hoedspruit as a destination of choice.”
Roddy Quinn is one of the South Africa’s leading event producers and artist managers, and has toured with both leading international and local artists around the world for decades. His portfolio includes international artists such as Queen, Whitney Houston, Depeche Mode, Dave Chapelle, Imagine Dragons to name but a few, and his credentials promise to bring significant added value to the broader Hoedspruit community.
The beneficiaries of this event will be Town Watch and Farm Watch, which further gives back to the local community, thereby ensuring the security and wellbeing of all in the area.
