Local musician and hitmaker Jeremy Loops, along with BreakOut Events founder and event-industry veteran Damon Forbes, are proud to announce their festival buy-in partnership for Up The Creek outdoor music festival.
The duo joins Annie Sowden, the event founder, and Caitlin Hanley, the festival director, to form a strong team aiming to lift the festival to new heights.
The 2024 edition of Up the Creek is shaping to be an event unlike any other. With only a limited number of tickets remaining, excitement is ramping up for what promises to be a 4-day extravaganza.
The festival, scheduled for 8 to 11 February 2024, will be held on a scenic farm by the Breede River just outside of Swellendam in the Western Cape.

Annie Sowden, enthusiastic about the new partnership, said, ‘We’re delighted to have Jeremy Loops and Damon Forbes on board. The wealth of expertise and fresh ideas they bring are exciting. We look forward to enhancing the experience for our loyal Creekers and attracting a whole new crowd.’
Jeremy Loops, who has had outstanding performances at Up the Creek in the past, shared his excitement about joining the festival team:
‘This isn’t just any festival to me. It’s a South African gathering that brings together the nation’s most scenic rivers and its top local talent. Floating on a lilo all day on the Breede River is just the cherry on top. I couldn’t be more thrilled about working alongside this amazing team.’
Damon Forbes of BreakOut Events echoed the sentiment, stating, ‘Up the Creek holds a special place in my heart. It truly captures the essence of what makes live music special. It’s an honour to join and support the team behind this iconic festival.’
Established in 1990, Up the Creek has developed a loyal following and remained a small-scale event limited to 2 500 attendees – referred to as ‘Creekers.’
Lineup and tickets:
The festival is calling all their loyal Creekers to grab their tickets and their friends for a celebration of live music.
