Cape Town’s new LED drive-in cinema will offer daytime viewing and live music

Cape Town is getting a new drive-in experience soon that plans to showcase everything from local and international films to live entertainment and performances.

The drive-in cinema concept is nothing new and while it’s something that hasn’t been around for quite some time, it’s definitely making a comeback across the globe as social distancing becomes the norm.

Mother City Drive-In – a new cinema experience – has announced it’s in the works of launching a series of outdoor film screenings and events in Cape Town.

Speaking to Clement Manyathela on CapeTalk, co-founder of the project Lyle Masters said the concept would initially allow 100-150 cars per screening/event and that the use of LED screens would also allow for daytime viewings.

‘Mother City Drive-In’ also plans to host “themed nights” and will provide a platform for performing artist, musicians and even food trucks to earn an income during a time where gatherings are prohibited.
