The MTC OASISONE Skeleton Coast Festival is Namibia’s latest and most anticipated musical shows.

Set to debut in December at Long Beach, the festival marks the beginning of an exciting era in the Namibian entertainment industry, since it also marks the official launch of Wild Africa Fund’s Music for Wildlife campaign, an initiative in Namibia and for Namibia to the rest of the world that combines soul-stirring music with the heart-warming cause of wildlife conservation.

“Namibia has some of the most amazing wildlife and landscapes on the planet and we are excited to be part of this public-private partnership to protect them for future generations,” said the co-founder and CEO of Wild Africa Fund, Peter Knights.

“These partnerships symbolise a shared aspiration to be a voice for Namibian artists, music and the arts and be the mic for the greatest show of all – Namibia’s wildlife and conservation, placing the spotlight on the unparalleled beauty of our national parks and wildlife sanctuaries. Furthermore, innovative campaigns drive awareness for solutions to the impact of poaching and human-wildlife conflict,” Teofilus Nghitila, the Executive Director of the Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism of Namibia (MEFT), added.

“The MEFT is excited to be part of OASISONE as it will be added to the tourism product. With passion embedded in conservation and when we have voices combined to elevate the Namibian story of conservation, it’s a beautiful thing.”
