Pieter Smith

29 DECEMBER | TBC

Pieter is hardly a new and unfamiliar face on the Afrikaans talent scene and his name is generally featured on the posters for most big music festivals. This is not surprising, considering that he’s been playing guitar since the tender age of four, and his first album hit the shelves back in 2001. With classic hits like Stukkie Van Der Merwe still doef-doefing on local radio stations to this very day, this talented performer will ensure plenty sing-alongs at this year’s Innikloof festival.
