Carl Cox headline act at The Electric NYE Ball

Electronic dance music legend Carl Cox is to be headline act at The Electric NYE Ball at the CTICC, Cape Town. The iconic, triple-deck master is no stranger to South Africa's nightlife and will return for one-night only on New Year's Eve.

Cox's early days saw him spinning rare groove and hip hop in the bars of Chicago and New York. He went on to become a veteran of the acid house scene and the stalwart of electronic music he is today; Coxy, as he's affectionately known, is showing no signs of slowing down. He has residency at Space, one of the most popular club nights in Ibiza, and his Global Radio show reaches 12 million listeners in over 35 countries.

Three tiers of tickets

The party will offer three tiers of tickets, including the VIP and VVIP experience, which offers exclusive bar service and elevated dance floors. The VVIP ticket gives the party-goer free drinks all night and the midnight countdown will have everyone with a glass of champagne in hand, to toast the striking of midnight, during Carl Cox's extended NYE set.

"We have been working on acquiring this booking for the past few years, and, to coin a phrase from the master himself: Oh yes, oh yes, we did it! We are honoured to have the world's number one party DJ here in South Africa, performing exclusively under the African night sky, in the number one tourist destination in the world, as we salute the year that was 2013," said Shaun Duvet of Electric Music.
