Burning Carnival Music Festival comes to SA
What to expect
This festival fuses music, entertainment, costumes and self-expression with three special themed tents, a large central arena, an art tent, a VIP dinner table with three course meals prepared by an international chef, a fun and entertainment park, a sunset letter burning ceremony to let go and move forward, and plenty of other highlights to look forward to over the course of the full day event. Guests will have the chance to dress up according to their own imaginations and creativity, making this event the ultimate celebration of expression.
Burning Carnival organiser Stephan Dau (creator of worldwide Events like Holi One and The Grand White Dinner) says, “We create a feeling of optimism, love, fun and togetherness. We want people to discover themselves and celebrate love and life with their best friends. To express themselves and impress others with their costumes and behaviour, with an opportunity to shine! It’s a great big fantasy world for adults.”
Guests with musical or artistic talents are encouraged to get involved by showcasing their talents at the event, either in The Arena, which features on-stage performances, or the Art Tent, which will feature a wide range of artistic mediums.
Acts
The central stage area is where the magic will take place. Here are a couple of headlining acts that will be performing live:
Daniel Baron: a South African artist with a dance music nr.1 hit. “Children of the sun”
Goodluck: One of South Africa’s most exciting live electronic bands, challenging audiences from around the world to take interest in a modern sound that is being hailed as truly African with the ability to cross over to an international electronic pop audience.
Newcomers like Vimo, Chunda Munki and others will perform.
