Rum and Van Coke goes well together...but not if COVID is around.
It is with great frustration that we must announce that the planned Rum and Van Coke show, originally planned for 10 July, will be postponed to 4 September. The new COVID regulations, limiting the amount of people to the show down to 100, means we have no choice, but to postpone.
Limited offers to those with tickets as consolation
Unfortunately, those who have already purchased tickets will now need to wait till 4 September for this, first of many, music shows at the Whistler Rum Distillery. Nobody likes to wait so we as Whistler Rum will be offering those who supported this event with some small gifts.
Visit the distillery with your ticket and receive a Free State Dust Storm cocktail on the house.

Not all doom and gloom.
It's always good to also consider the bright side. With our original plans for 10 July, we where already limited to 250 tickets. We are hopeful that we will be allowed to host 500 people during the new 4 September date. This means more tickets for those who would have missed out on the original date.

Warmer weather makes for a longer show
Because of the likely freezing weather in July, we where originally planning to have Francois and Die Gevaar perform at around 7pm. In September, it is likely that we will be able to have a later show thanks to warmer weather. I think everyone can agree that a later show in September would be more enjoyable. Just think... we will be starting that day around mid day with a number of local performers. This will continue all day until well after sunset. And then, under a Free State starry sky, Francois will be singing "Komma" or one of his other hits. EPIC!
