The alternative, rock-centric festival has been a fixture in the local music scene for the past eight years, and with artists like Bloc Party taking the stage and 15000 tickets being sold last year, the music event shows no sign of slowing down. This year they continue to bring the best to SA by announcing British indie rock sensation Alt-J as the latest act to headline the Darling musical feast.

Gwil Sainsbury, Joe Newman, Gus Unger-Hamilton, and Thom Green met during their student days at Leeds University. They formed Alt-J in 2007 and have since taken deeper strides into the high ranks of Britain’s indie culture. The quartet released their debut album ‘An Awesome Wave’ in May 2012 and triumphantly accepted the British Barclaycard Mercury Prize for their efforts. From Australia to Belgium, France, Ireland and the USA ‘An Awesome Wave’ has put Alt-J at the forefront of indie rock and with nominations at the Brit Awards 2013 for Best British Group, Best British Album and British Breakthrough, the band has only teased us with a sample of their true potential.

Fresh from stops at Coachella, Glastonbury, Reading and Lollapalooza, Alt-J will head to Rocking the Daisies which takes place from the 3rd- 6th October 2013. Get all the info below before tickets run out.
