Let's get this party started!

This weekend Shoestrings Backpackers in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, hosted a warmup event for the forthcoming Trees for Zambia Earth Fest, organised by conservation awareness charity Greenpop, to be held in Livingstone, Zambia this coming weekend. Jeremy Loops, Chikenbus Band and Flint meet Spark all hit the stage to entertain guests and start a party that for some will probably last all week long! Big thanks to everyone who helped make it happen, and don't forget the big event is next week in Zambia.


Adelle from Flint meet Spark, who opened the evening with a beautiful set of songs.


Our very own Chikenbus band, despite the recent departure of their leading man, proved that the bus still rolls on.


The man himself, the multi-talented Jeremy Loops.

The festival proper starts off on Friday 19th July in the evening with a party Train Ride from Livingstone train station to the Victoria Falls Bridge (DJs and all drinks included). Fest goers can meet at the Livingstone station at 16:30 sharp.


On Saturday 20 July, the festival will move to the Greenpop Village at Livingstone Safari Lodge where, from 15:00, attendees can participate in sustainability workshops. They will have the chance to learn more about what Greenpop is doing in Livingstone and get a taste of a full week’s activities. Music starts from 18:00 and will include performances by Jeremy Loops, Chikenbus Band, Yes Rasta, Black Light Panda, Pat McCay, Tribute Mboweni and more.
