I don't know if you've had a moment to check the calendar recently, but I've got some alarming news - it's almost the end of November already! Which means Party Season is effectively upon us. Before you run screaming for the hills in a panic-induced sweat, take a moment to breathe, we've got your New Year's covered. This year there is no need to scurry about making last-minute plans, driving in stupid queues to get to the Coast or frantically trying to ascertain which party in town will be the coolest - you can organise it all right now and rest easy that you will be sorted come New Year's Weekend.

This year's Rock the River SA New Year's Festival will take place at the Cape Town Ostrich Ranch, located 20 minutes' drive from Cape Town along the N7 towards the West Coast. Which means you will be able to enjoy your New Year's in a safe, natural environment, away from the bustle of the inner city, listening to awesome tunes amongst awesome people. True party animals can settle in on the 30th from 15h00 onwards for camping, enjoy a drink at the bar and participate in some fun festival activities before the party marathon kicks off on the 31st.

Even better news is that Fokofpolisiekar will be headlining this year's Rock the River SA New Year's festival. Currently one of SA's most popular rock acts, Fokofpolisiekar has become known for their explosive live performances and raw on-stage energy.

Controversial and ever-questioning in their lyrics as well as their lifestyle, the band has generated much controversy in the South African media.

The year is speeding to an end and the party season is fast approaching - do you know how you will be spending New Year's Eve 2011? How about heading out to a kick-ass outdoor music festival with your friends, away from the madness of the surging inner-city crowds?

Now in its third year, Rock the River SA Festival continues to provide an exciting alternative to conventional New Year's Eve parties - allowing participants to enjoy live South African music in an intimate, safe and natural environment. The need for non-mainstream, small yet professionally-run events was first acknowledged in 2009 and since then Rock The River SA has grown to an annual New Year's event.

This year's Rock the River SA New Year's Festival will take place from December 31st to January 2nd at the Cape Town Ostrich Ranch, located 20 minutes' drive from Cape Town along the N7, towards the West Coast. The organisers will once again bring along a brand new state-of-the-art sound and lighting rig to provide three epic stages for the more than 100 acts expected to attend. This includes the Main Stage, the D&B and Dubstep stage and a third stage for Metal/Goth/Hard Rock and Punk.

At present, the confirmed acts for this year's event include (subject to change): Fokofpolisiekar, Hog Hoggidy Hog, Half Price, Boombox Troopers, Reburn, Stone Collar, The Great Apes, Junkyard Lipstick, CY.STR, Thought Police, Witness to Wolves, Dutch Phobia, Cannon, Smugg Juggler, Jackal& Wolf, My Flawless Ending, Gritt (PE), Impalement Theory, a DJ line- up provided by RubaDub and Basscore, as well as the 420 Comedy Troop.
