Wanderbay NYE
The Wanderbay NYE festival features multiple music stages for the ultimate celebration to end off the year in unforgettable style.
The annual outdoor electronic music festival at Cairnbrogie has become a cornerstone of the Garden Route summer season.
The New Year’s Eve bash features multiple stages with various DJs and electronic artists, with headliners and local legends such as LoTech, New Agenda Sound, Pariah, Thebonganizulu, Dwsonofficial and Djavan Teodosio, offering immersive audio-visual experiences and celebrating the transition into the new year with Afro-house, techno and deep house vibes across its curated stages.
- At this late stage, it appears the “cheaper” tickets have already sold out, with only the “Final Release” tickets priced at R950 still available through Howler.
Get Lucky Summer NYE
Celebrate New Year’s Eve under the stars with the very best in live music, an ice-cold beer garden, sunset picnics and that barefoot-on-the-grass freedom at the FlySafair Get Lucky Summer NYE bash at the Robberg Rugby Fields.
Get Lucky Summer, the only family-friendly concert series in Plettenberg Bay, returns for its seventh season after a 100% sold-out run over its first six years, and tonight is the big night to go epic.
