The Village Trance Party

If you're a fan of outdoor trance parties, you simply cannot miss this three-day Cape Town trance party!


Its that time of year again when The Village unleashes its first outdoor of the season!

The organisers of the Village Trance Party have decided to kick things up a notch this year and turn their regular one-night trance party into a full-on three-day outdoor music festival!

The venue for this event is still the Flenterskloof Farm near Franschhoek, and rumour has it that the farm’s dam is full – perfect for a quick dip to cool off and refresh yourself for another bout of dancing.

The Village Trance Party will include a twisted mixture of some of the hottest underground Breaks, Electro, Dubstep, Indie Rock, Rugga, Hip Hop & Jazz Hop artists – pretty much everyone that the organisers could get their hands on!

Look out for top local talent like Enough Weapons, Xatrik, Biorhythm, Krushed & Sorted to name but a few.

The Village Trance Party line-up for Friday night:
  • Bruce Willis (fidget-d&b)
  • Mr Cat & The Jackal (eclectic indie band)
  • Chamber Concept (hip hop)
  • Sparkyboy (8 bit)
  • Enough Weapons (breaks)
  • Stereotypes (jazz hop)
  • Jubillee (ambient-breaks)
  • Shotbreak (breaks-d&b)
  • The Lottery Tickets (indie rock)
  • Uno (electro-clash)
  • Sos-System (soul-breaks)
  • Funafuji (dubstep)
  • Shamrock (rugga)
  • Freeswim (indie-electro)

Saturday night promises to be just as amazing, featuring the likes of BioRhythm Slug, Solar Axis, Hex, Xatrik, Gandalf as well as Plus Minus, Skarab, Crypsis and System Reset and so much more…

There will be a shaded dance floor, camping facilities, a fully licensed and stocked bar, awesome décor, ablution facilities, a medic and food stalls on site to make your party experience as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.

As a treat we offer Free Downloads of South African Music exclusively for our subscribers to the free monthly newsletter.
