In less than three years, Bazique Festival has firmly established itself as South Africa’s most original and exciting, large-scale festival of performing art and was even voted ‘World’s Best Boutique Festival ‘ at the Tuvalu International Festival Awards.
What’s most important about Bazique Festival, over and above the spectacular installations to muse over, art-cars, art-boats and pop-up exhibitions, is their astronomical music lineups. You’ll find all kinds of electronic and live music ‘on play’ during your wild and wonderful weekend at Bazique Festival -taking place this year at Ruitersvlei Estate near Paarl.

Bazique Festival has confirmed an impressive list of talent who’ll be performing across the art immersive stages alongside independent collectives and collaborators such as Wolfkop Weekender, CTEMF, Bridges For Music, Sexy Groovy Love, Diskotekah, Into The Wild and TOY TOY – collaborating for their first year- who’ll all be presenting their curated lineups and festival experiences throughout the weekend.
