Cape Town's Nightlife Gig guide offers the best house & electro club events, but keeps its focus on the underground Music and Dance Scene
|
Playground Magazine was launched in November 2006 and was born out of a passion for music, clubbing and the Mother City.,
This print guide on gigs in the Cape Town Club Nightlife is a free monthly street publication in Cape Town, with a print run of between 10 000 and 12 000 and an estimated readership of between 28 000 – 30 000 readers every month.
Playground magazine is a definite ‘must have’ for anyone coming to Cape Town for a holiday and who can’t wait to hit the clubs, as locals use it very month to find the best electro, underground, minimalist and house parties in Cape Town.
In the time Playground magazine has been around, it has created a good awareness within the music and dance culture in South Africa’s Mother City.
Finally there is a print guide that has ALL the gigs taking place.
Playground is an easy to read comprehensive gig-guide, available in print (and online), featuring well known nightlife and clubs in Cape Town, but their main focus is on the underdog and underground.
You will find the best clubs in Cape Town: for upmarket popular nights such as the thumping DJ gigs at The Bang Bang Club, the rocking Wednesday R&B nights at Fashion TV (FTV)
and the ever popular R&B/Dance Thursdays at Ignite as well as the underground DJ Bar at Fiction to weekly home-grown local performances at Mercury Live and Red Hot nights at the Loft on Sundays.
Although they do give you good info on the best clubs and main party nights in these clubs, Playground Magazine does not focus on mainstream, which is really great for anyone curious about great music and events that no one really knows about. The genre focus is underground House, Electro and Clubbing.
