Synergy Live is Back

Get ready for the epic Cape Town outdoor music festival that features over 70 international and local acts at Anura Wine Estate

Year after year, hundreds of music-lovers (some journeying from overseas) gravitate to the Mother City’s premier three-day jol for mayhem, mischief and, of course, great music.

That’s right folks, the legendary Synergy Live outdoor underground music festival, sounds off on Friday, 1 December 2017 and runs with wild abandon until Sunday, 3 December 2017 at Anura Wine Estate in Franschhoek.

By no means your average weekend-long music affair, Synergy Live has established itself as a must-do for serious party-goers, and just about anyone looking for a great time. Aside from the return of awesome features from past events, this year, the organisers will take things to the next level.

And as always, the massive must-do will feature a slew of award-winning international and local musos to get the groove going. International headliners include wAFF, Paranoid London, De La Swing, Dino Lenny, Joeski, Shaded and more!

WHAT TO EXPECT AT THE 2017 SYNERGY LIVE MUSIC FESTIVAL IN FRANSCHHOEK

VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE: “Variety, quality and quintessential originality” is what drives the organisers of this annual summer shindig. Festival-goers can expect a variety of music genres, quality acts and uber original décor, attractions and features. In keeping with this simple ethos, the party will showcase upcoming talent and underground artists who are making waves in their respective genres and across the internet (think of it as a live concert featuring your non-mainstream soundcloud playlist).

INTERNATIONAL HEADLINERS: Each year, the weekend-long jol brings hot global acts to perform alongside Mzansi’s top artists and future superstars, and this year is no different. Of course, the main stage is where you’ll see the top acts and, as always, is at the centre of the festivities.

MIND-BLOWING DÉCOR: While the main arena usually sports rather impressive stage trimmings, visuals and the like, this year visitors can expect to be wowed with incredible art installations.

ASTOUNDING STAGES: Aside from the Red Bull main stage, there are a number of podiums playing host to different genres, and party-goers can pick and choose their playlist for the weekend. The Psymedia x MyCityByNight stage will see local trance masters knock your socks off with their progressive beats and epic drops. The line-up includes Geometric Flux, Deliriant and Broken Toy. The LoveAll Hip Hop Stage is a new addition and will feature hip hop, bass and future beats from local acts which include Beat Sampras and K$. The last stage, named the Paradise City Beach Bar, will transport you to a tropical paradise; with music to match. Stone Age Citizens, Daddy Warbucks and Danalog are all appearing here.

AN AWE-SOMELY NEW VENUE: Set in between the peaks of the Franschhoek mountains, Anura Wine Estate will be transformed into an oasis for partygoers everywhere. It’s only just over an hour from Cape Town, and believe us when we say, you’ll need a whole lot of ice and some seriously strong suncream.

NOT JUST A FOOD MARKET: In an effort to give festival-goers a premier experience, the awesome okes behind this epic party, scoured the Cape Town foodie scene to bring you the best food vendors and a wide array of yummy grub. From organic and vegan options to burgers and Mexican-style nosh, the food zone will have a smorgasbord of eats, a delicious buzzing vibe and ample seating where hungry and tired revelers can relax and refuel before hitting the dance floors again.

IT’S ALWAYS WINE O’CLOCK: As an extra special treat, Synergy Live will for the first time ever, feature a dedicated Champagne and Wine Bar. Anura’s delicious vino and champers will be on offer right through the weekend, and unlike the wine in your tent, it won’t be warm and flat. Make the smart choice with Anura.  

ROUGH IT OR CAMP LIKE A ROCKSTAR: As always, the organisers make special effort to create a camping area kitted out with all the creature comforts. Park your tent on the groundsheet and avoid trekking mud into your portable abode. Hot showers and clean toilets are all part of the deal, and security will be on hand at all times to ensure the safety of festival-goers. Additionally, the campsite village offers campers a cell phone re-charging station, lockers, a water station and more. Though, if you’re less inclined to lug camping gear about, why not book yourself a pre-pitched tent with a range of luxury amenities at the Heartbreak Motel (limited space is still available).
