TICKETING OPTIONS
BYO (BRING YOUR OWN) CAMPING [R450]
These tickets are a full weekend pass and give you access to the festival and the riverbank for all three nights. Camping is down stream from the festival site and is in one of the most beautiful glades on the Olifants River. Your own camping gear is mandatory but you will still be furnished with hot water and flushing toilets. A very comfortable place to camp, we guarantee!
COMFORT LINE CAMPING (limited) [R600]
This tier includes a festival pass and three nights stay on the riverbank. Here you are camping upstream from the festival site and although you need to bring your own camping gear, you will have a massive bedouin tent under which to build your village and/ create a cosy common area with your campmates for the weekend. Get a group together and book one for your crew. Up to twenty people can be accommodated under the tent and your groundsheet is green, lush grass ensuring that your shoes and flops can stay in the car all weekend. Limited access to electricity, hot showers and flushing toilets are all wrapped up in this deal.
LUXURY LINE CAMPING (SOLD OUT)
This tier includes a festival pass, three nights on the river bank and camping upstream from the festival site. Here is where you can leave your tents, mattresses, sleeping bags and pillows at home. On arrival you will be ushered to a two man tent that is part of a three tent village (i.e. six people per village). Access to electricity all weekend at your village is included as is a toaster, hot plate and kettle as well as hot water and flushing toilets. We highly recommend getting a crew of six together and making a village of friends to spend the weekend together glamping it up in style! Price is per person sharing.
SUNDAY PASS & SPIT BRAAI LUNCH [R250]
This tier gives you access to the festival all day on Sunday and a lunch ticket to seal the deal. The music starts at 10:00am and plays on all afternoon until 5:00pm. Join us for a final day of river-side frolics with a lamb on the spit lunch included. Lamb rolls and a selection of salads will do nicely a ice-cold beer or fresh fruit smoothie. Don't let Sunday's ruin your Monday's - this will be a good, fun-filled day of plenty!

HEADLINERS
TAMA SUMO
TAMA SUMO is a true legend amongst the Berlin music making community. She began her professional career as a resident DJ at Tresor in the mid nineties and has never looked back. A history with the OstGut collective that pre-dates Berghain /Panorama Bar has ensured a residency in the hallowed halls of the legendary institution since the day it opened it's doors. Her first release in 2008 was co-produced with Prosumer and debuted in the top 50 of German Groove Magazine.
LAKUTI
LAKUTI is a South African by birth, and one of our most influential exports. After 10 years running Sud Electronic with another local hero Portable, she moved on to open the now legendary Uzuri Records, an operation which has expanded to into a booking agency that includes such luminaries as Fred P and Levon Vincent. A resident of Panorama Bar, she is regarded as a sublime selector, one only needs to spend an hour with her in the Boiler Room to realise the scope of her talent.
CHRISTIAN TIGER SCHOOL
CHRISTIAN TIGER SCHOOL are the teaming of Luc and Sebastian. The young duo have in a very short time made an indelible impact on the SA electronic music scene. Their live set and sonic direction is a show not to be missed.
Following the release of their debut album Third Floor on bombadaa the pairhave taken their live show across the world and supported acts like Little Dragon and Hudson Mohawke. They end 2014 on a high note after a mini tour of NYC and a slot at Sonar Music Festival in Cape Town. The end of the year also sees the release of Chrome Tapes, their sophomore release, which takes a new sonic direction. While the hip-hop foundation remains, house and techno have been integrated moving them into the more experimental electronica field.

GOOD TO KNOW
Wolfkop Weekender started as an intimate gathering and music event, and managed to remain a best-kept secret; hidden by the valley itself and the locals of Citrusdal for close-on five years. In January 2014, this jewel of a venue and its penchant for a well-seasoned celebration and rolling bassline were revealed to a new group of unassuming revelers, who’d come to the valley under the guise of experiencing, ‘a different kind of weekend away’.
Lilo River Flow took place over a weekend bearing the brilliant brunt of the mid-Summer heat; making for water-based days, that saw 100 or so floatation devices take to the river and indulge the senses in a crystal-clear, back-to-nature experience. A quality and understated soundtrack floated on a breath of wind by day, took you into a cool evening doused with the adventurous energy of a campout and moved you deep into the night.
Wolfkop Weekender : Lilo River Flow returns with a 48 hour frolic on the banks and in the refreshing current of the Olifant's Rivier in the Citrusdal Valley. Reset, recharge and put an incredible new year into motion from the 23rd - 25th January at the lush Wolfkop Nature Reserve venue in Citrusdal.
Join us for an experience that is part weekend-away, part music festival and all kinds of incredible. Wolfkop presents a unique atmosphere, organic vibe and deep beats of a different kind: Eclectic and downtempo dubs will ease you by day and live throbbing electronica will tease you by night. Bring your floatila devices and your favourite friends, this weekender is jam-packed and brimming with good times.
Wolfkop Weekender is an official satellite event of the Cape Town Electronic Music Festival (CTEMF) and we're excited to announce this affiliation as we welcome our first international guests to our boutique music stage.

IMPORTANT NOTICES:
- Wolfkop Weekender is a Leave-No-Trace Event. We endeavour to keep our stretch of pristine river bank in the condition we found it. You'll find lots of recycling and rubbish bins placed around the venue and invite you to keep our beautiful venue MOOP-free. We encourage everyone to bring a re-fillable receptacle of sorts to contain your choice of tipple – let's keep things clean and green. :) The water in the valley is drinkable and delicious so leave bottled water on the shelves, where it belongs.
- There's plenty of accommodation in and around Citrusdal for those not keen on camping or if you missed the tent village accommodation sale and want a fuss free sleeping arrangement. Wolfkop Free-spirited Traveller Accommodation Group has various cottages available within 10km of the venue and Elephant Leisure Resort is a further drive but has an abundance of cottages for groups of various sizes.
- Please Note: While Wolfkop Nature Reserve is a family venue all year round, on Wolfkop Weekender we do not permit children into the camping grounds. Due to the nature of the fast-flowing river that runs alongside the festival space, and the variable proximity between child and parent at all times, we cannot run the risk of negligence on the property. Adults from 21 years and over are permitted. We thank you for understanding.
THE VENUE
ABOUT WOLFKOP
Wolfkop Nature Reserve is nestled in the Olifants River Valley in Citrusdal and takes it’s name from the nickname the first local farmers gave the shapely mountain that backs the riverbank of the reserve. While the only thing you’ll find howling at the moon are happy campers, the land is abundant with wildlife and it’s not uncommon to hear a troop of baboons echoing through the range.
The reserve has a variety of accommodation options available, including remote cottages, wood cabins, and tent and caravan villages, perfect for travellers passing through slowly and families and groups of friends alike, looking for a quick getaway or weekend retreat. The venue never sways from reminding your free spirit, that this is a great outdoor destination.
The heart of Wolfkop’s offering is a quest to provide a truly off-grid experience, to allow one to reconnect with themselves and nature. To appreciate the sweet sounds, fresh earthly aromas, blue skies, soft breezes, crystal clear water, and rolling, lush green fields; all in a moment that is not connected to time or destiny.
Free-spirited travellers, this is your next stop.
