Cape Town Bike Festival - Launch Tonight

Cape Town Stadium will be getting tons of dirt put in!

To say I am excited about the Cape Town Bike Festival (CTBF) might just be the understatement of the year! Outside of the odd game of football and shows from the likes of U2, the stadium has not had much on, as far as world class events go, since the 2010 World Cup. That all changes this year as the CTBF rolls into the stadium over three days in December. What will we be seeing at the launch this evening in Cape Town? So far we have been told that the Festival will have a Lifestyle Expo for those that love the biking lifestyle, Miss Bike SA (Hot ladies and Bikes, sounds good), Supercross and Junior MX racing (Something not seen in SA stadiums for many years), a Tattoo Expo and art exhibition, AMD Custom Bike Build competition, the incredible Masters of Dirt FMX show every night and to round things off an incredible three international bands - 1 for each night. Shew, I just had to take a breath and calm myself down there...

Masters of Dirt is the world's biggest and best FMX show. I have wanted to see one of these for a very long time and the fact that I can see it every night for the length of the CTBF is bloody exciting. Some of the world's best FMX, Quad and Mini-Bike hell men will be on display, as well as our very own "Sick" Nick de Wit. Let's not forget the fiery and very hot "Fuel Girls" who are a big part of the show. Got to admit to being equally excited to hang with the girls backstage at the show, hehe.

Though the CTBF have not released the names of the Bands yet for the three nights at the Festival, I am told that with my help, CTBF will be asking you the fans for your opinions on this integral part of the entertainment showpiece. So, once I know the options, you will know and you can vote for your choices for the three nights. One band that has already been closely linked to the CTBF are our locally born superstars, Seether. One can only hope it is true!

So, much excitement and I will have more information tomorrow once I have attended the launch event tonight and found out more. This looks to be one of the biggest events Cape Town has ever seen and I will be along with you in tow for the entire ride! In the meantime, why not make some suggestions for bands you would like to see in the comments section! Right, time to get ready for the launch and a couple of cold ones with the crew.
