Cape Town’s hottest New Year’s Eve party is back. This upmarket extravaganza, held at the foot of Table Mountain, is over 10 hours of eclectic music with mind-blowing stage architecture and flamboyant performance art. Here’s everything you need to know about Alcazar NYE (including the theme for 2022).

Alcazar is an annual New Year’s celebration, set against the dramatic backdrop of Table Mountain. Three immersive art stages will whisk you away into a kaleidoscope of joie de vivre, with 3D projection mapping, dancers, gymnasts and performance artists. Alcazar attracts more than 5000 party-goers every year – so expect to see the who’s who of Cape Town and visitors from around the globe. Note: Alcazar is an over 21s event.

Each year the 3-storey-high mainstage at Alcazar is inspired by one of the great palaces of the world to create an astonishing art piece. This year, delve into the ancient civilisation of the Aztecs and the Mayan palace Palenque.
Azteca Dream draws inspiration from the Aztecs and some of their most colourful, style-minded people in history. Be part of the splendour and explore the artistry of the Aztecs, or tap into your inner panther, jaguar or exotic bird and dress up in an extravagant costume, if you wish to dress up.
Fancy dress at Alcazar is optional, but highly encouraged. Image: Alcazar NYE
This year, the Alcazar main stage is going to be grander than ever with Sexy Groovy Love curating the events. Expect the hottest lineup, including German acts Dirty Doering and Super Flu.

Get your pack together and howl your way through the night at the intelligent tech house. Wolfkop Den is an electric dance floor that promises wonder and fun-filled vibrations all night long. If you’re looking for something less techno and more showman, Le Fee Verte is the place to be. A decadent, indoor ballroom full of all things funky, this stage brings Nu Disco, hip hop party vibes.
All 3 stages will run from 9pm - 4am. Image: Alcazar NYE
Alcazar’s DJs will play with exotic creatures across 3 stages. See the lineup for each stage below.
