Themed experiences

The Ballito Rage events will be held at The Sound Factory in the rolling hills of Ballito surrounded by surreal views. Normally, guests would also enjoy a varied experience by attending numerous club parties, however with the current Covid-19 restrictions this is not possible. Instead, the organisers are bringing the variety to the Sound Factory.

Each day brings a brand-new theme. Decor and equipment will be loaded out and replaced and there will be a festive get-ready tent offering guests professional face painting and makeup artists and festival wearables to match the theme.

These are the themed experiences:

30 November - Ignition:
Welcome to Rage Festival 2021, welcome to The Sound Factory. Ignition, the beginning. The start of our epic journey, together. Bring an open mind, enter our world, and make memories that you will remember forever!

1 December - Garden of Eden:
Journey into the tropical jungle. A labyrinth of hanging green, mystical creatures and woody corners. Reconnect with your spiritual being as we pay homage and bid farewell to 12 years of structured conformity.

2 December - Neon Dream:
Dress code: Dripping in luminous neon from head to toe! Don’t be dull! A bright, enchanted, magical land and a visual feast for the eyes and mind. Shine as bright as possible and join our kaleidoscope of neon magic as we illuminate the KZN sky.

3 December - TechYes:
Deep thunderous techno and tech house will bring your senses to life. A shadowy world of focused beams, piercing lasers and explosive C02. Say yes, to TechYes!

4 December - Whiteout:
Dress code: Strictly all-white attire. Only shoes, caps or belts may have colour. It’s the final chapter in our passage of freedom and it will be a magnificent affair! Together, gathered in white, we will unite and celebrate one last time.
