RAMfest has become a national pilgrimage. It’s
time once again to journey headlong into the crazy world of RAMfest!
Taking place on the 26, 27, 28th February this will be our 4th jaunt
across the Solent and after what was certainly one of our most
memorable events in 2009, 2010 is set to be our Year of the
Spectacular. As ever, Audiomatik Events company has been working their
socks off to collect together a cornucopia of truly staggering acts to
blow all our minds! We’ve had a bit of a spruce up and spring clean
at Nekkies holiday Resort this year and moved the furniture about a
bit, creating a smashing new site layout, so when you get here it
should feel beautifully brand new and reassuringly familiar all at the
same time! Thanks to all of our dedicated followers, RAMfest is
South Africa's numero uno alternative music festival...all our
favourite live acts in a field in a couple months time in what we can
humbly proclaim is our best line-up yet. RAMfest IV will surpass its predecessors, both in scale and in skandes.

Robo Disco", Pretoria's most advanced audio-visual
dance-floor-destroying experience is charging it's batteries and
powering up to bring the fun to Cape Town. GRIET presents ‘ROBO-RAM!’
RAMFEST’s first official dress up after party! The brainchild of
Sassquatch (co-creator of the Sovereign Academy) every Dynamo is
powered by a dedicated team of musicians, DJs, designers, animators,
illustrators and stuff-makers and brought to life by the small army of
robots that flood the dancefloor. With a heavy emphasis on elaborate
decor, live lighting and video performance and fun dresscodes based
around variations on the robot theme, Dynamo sets its sights on pushing
the envelope on event design further than any other series of South
African parties has done before.
Now Dynamo is taking the robot
apocalypse on the road for a single night of mechanical mayhem at this
year's Ramfest. With the Redbull Van as a platform for constructing
"Robo-Ram" Ramfest’s first dress up, get down and tear it apart robot
after-party! When the bands are over go back to your tent and
transform into the cyborgs we all know you are and come rock out to
Yesterday’s Pupil, Sassquatch and Richard The Third who will power you
up with their disco-punk-electro-rock sets.
Don’t forget to pack
that Hawaiian shirt we all know you have lurking in your closet because

river starting at 11:00am. There will be cocktails, deck chairs,
umbrellas, beach fun-stuff and DJ’s all day long! Moe Joe (Kidofdoom),
