As a music and lifestyle festival, Rocking the Daisies sets itself apart through its ability to year-on-year offer curated line-ups that cater for the broad audience that the festival attracts. The blend of international and local talent provides a focal point for the event. Every year, 25 000 festival fans make their way to the Western Cape to attend.

Twenty-five-year-old Grammy-winning Australian producer Flume (Harley Streten) is set to headline Rocking the Daisies, bringing his visual set and experimental bass sound to the South African stage.

Flume has won Best Dance/Electronic Album for Skin at the 2017 Grammy Awards, which follows eight ARIA Award wins in Australia, including Album of the Year. Skin includes the two-time Platinum-certified song, Never Be Like You, featuring Kai and the Platinum-certified single, Say It, featuring Tove Lo.

Since his 2012 release of his self-titled debut, Flume continues to receive support from fans and critics alike, becoming one of the first artists to top 200 million Soundcloud streams.
