The postponement is in the best interest of the public and supports efforts to stem the spread of Coronavirus, which has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation.

“This has been a difficult decision and one we have not made lightly. As a flagship event for South Africa, with over 40,000 local and international attendees, we are committed to acting in the best interest of our loyal ‘festinos’ (festival-goers), performing artists, service providers, employees and the public at large,” says festival director Billy Domingo.
