Freedom Festival in Cape Town

Celebrate Freedom Day in South Africa with one of the biggest line-ups of the year at this first ever music fest

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED

---

The first ever Freedom Festival is hitting the Cape Town Ostrich Ranch with a thundering line-up of local and international bands on Monday, 27 April 2015 in honour of the Freedom Day public holiday.

This afternoon of sun and sound promises one of the most epic live music programmes since summer institutions like Synergy Live and Rocking the Daisies came and went, and accordingly, party-goers can get amped to hear big acts from abroad, like American rockers The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, British pop-rock group Curious Incident and more.

In total, 14 top bands will wreak havoc on the main stage, four of which are from overseas, and a handful of deck-wreckers will reign supreme over the DJ box on the EDM dance floor.

Not to mention, there will be concession stands, stalls, bars and kiosks throughout the venue to make sure the beats aren’t echoed by hungry stomachs.
