The global selection of artists on the main stage includes Flavia Coelho, the Brazilian sensation that wowed fans at this year’s MTN Bushfire Festival; Kila, Ireland's greatest world music band, mixes traditional Irish sounds with world influences; and the mesmerising, spectacular, fabulous show that is the Dhoad Gypsies of Rajasthan. Made up of poets, musicians, dancers, and even a fakir (fire eater) from India, The Dhoad Gypsies are dedicated to gathering the leading figures of the Rajasthan.

Top South African favourites such as the much-loved Zahara, Sibusile Xaba, and Thabang Tabane will also grace the stage amongst others. From 10pm the stage becomes the home to some of South Africa’s best electronic music with the party lasting until 2am.

Theatre productions at the Market Theatre are included in the festival pass, as well as access to the jazz club, cinema screenings, and the food and wine village, art exhibitions, and more.

The cashless environment means buying food and drinks is easy, safe, and convenient. The entire festival district is a safe and secure pedestrian environment with various zones only accessible to festival ticket holders.

Tickets are available via Quicket.
