Get Ready For The S.T.O.R.M Festival at Hawane Resort on New Year's Eve - Something For The Whole Family!

The S.T.O.R.M festival (Swazi Tone Of Real Music) is a collaborative initiative of Claiming Ground Records, Big Fun Entertainment and Loud Entertainment with the aim of hosting annual events in the country to promote home grown talent. The event will start at 10a.m on the 31st of December through to the 1st of January 2012, midday at the luxurious Hawane Resort, about 15km out of the capital city Mbabane. 

Reps from LOUD, BIG FUN And CLAIMING GROUND (standing) pose with the artists on the line up for the BIG event. 

This festival aims to showcase local talent to the locals and is strategically positioned as an event which can contribute to national building as it invokes a sense of national pride and raises awareness of the milestones Swaziland has made not just in music but in the arts as a whole. This all day event set for 31 December of every year targets young and old, families and singles and is well poised for success as it also provides a platform for people to celebrate the ending of one year and usher in a new one. Quad Bikes, Horse Rides, Jumping Castles, Sports, Face Painting, Stalls, Performances and Fireworks are just some of the fun that you stand to experience during this event.

The Brains: Paul Tarvis from LOUD & Steven Mthethwa from Claiming Ground take time out with the Hawane Resort Representative and BIG FUN's DJ Karly B.

The STORM builds up on the success of two events hosted by these entities separately in 2010/2011 where approximately (2000) people were presented and treated to strictly local Musicians and Disk Jockeys.  


This year is set to be even bigger and better as our local artists now have a name in the country with recent launches by Siyinqaba, Psycholution and Nomalungelo Dladla to name a few, all of which were a huge success and were covered in local media. 


The project team is well experienced and has been hosting events all over the country for the past few years in their respective stables. This collaboration sees the three entertainment giants in the entertainment industry leveraging off their experience and understanding gained of the environment to provide a unique experience.

The event aims at:

·         Promoting all local arts in the entertainment industry

·         Professional development of local artists

·         Idea and concept development in marketing products through the arts

·         Hosting such events at scenic Swazi spots, for the added Swazi experience

·         Encouraging growth in sales of local arts products
