Following six years of refinement, CTEMF 2017 aims to add to the diversity of music on offer and has expanded it’s offering from three to five dancefloors.
This year sounds from Africa, Europe and North America will bring tropical, euphoric, dark and melodic sounds to the various stages around City Hall.
A total of nine new acts have been added to the lineup including DJ Invizable, Digital Sangoma, Moonchild Sanelly, DJ Fosta and Diloxclusiv. Five acts will play on a brand new Chill Stage: Dan Tempo, Ronald Rowley, Ghost Track, Spekta and Murmur.
These additions join 55 previously announced acts including me, Heidi, Coldcut, Peanut Butter Wolf, Ryan Hemsworth, Jazzuelle, Youngsta CPT, Jullian Gomes, Kid Fonque, Portable, Till Von Sein, Re.You, Haezer and more.
The flagship CTEMF stage, the Audiotorium is situated in the heart of the historic City Hall.
The Terrace Stage adds a traditional festival element to CTEMF. Here, attendees can take in the sights and sounds of Cape Town’s CBD while enjoying some of the fine electronic music acts.
A slightly more intimate zone, the Mezzanine floor is at home in the city’s bustling heart. Expect an exhibition of the freshest artists currently expanding the electronic scene in SA.
Geared towards a focused dance experience, the Club Floor is an intimate, immersive space, which is tucked away and hidden.
This is a place of calm, where you escape the madness. The Chill Floor offers attendees a place to take a seat, sip on a drink and enjoy a bite. Strike up a conversation as you recharge, enveloped by deep dubs and slow-rolling ambience.
In addition to the three-day music festival, CTEMF hosts a three-day series of workshops and showcases where luminaries from around the world cross paths with South Africa's emerging talent. A wide-ranging programme takes place at various locations around Cape Town from 7-9 February 2017. Further details will be released soon.
Many of the headliners will be playing in Johannesburg for the CTEMF Connect JHB Festival in collaboration with Truth nightclub over the same weekend on 10-11 February 2017.
