Friends become family and new bonds are made as you focus on getting lost in music and celebrate house and techno under the night sky at the With You Festival at The Castle of Good Hope.

WHAT IS WITH YOU FESTIVAL?
The With You festival is an inaugural house and techno event aimed at breaking the habit of electronic communication. It’s doing this by bringing dance and electronic music lovers together to interact face to face, under the stars and on the grass of the Castle of Good Hope.

WHO IS THE HEADLINE ACT
In Berlin, a guy named Velten and his friends had such a passion for endless nights that they started organising electronic dance music parties. The events became so popular that Velten went on to become a DJ and producer under the name Dirty Doering. He founded the Katermukke label in 2011 to catch the colourful vibe of the Berlin underground tech house parties.

WHAT STYLE DOES HE PLAY?
Whether it’s deep or driving, weirdly enchanting or crystal clear – Dirty Doering doesn’t tie himself down. His aim when he plays is to help you escape daily routines, and take you to a state where the beat means everything and the thought of the morning after counts for nothing.
MUSIC LINE-UP
