More than just music at Parklife JHB

In addition to various music to suit all appetites, festival-goers can also enjoy the art of eating with a gourmet food village. This festival has fast gained a foodie reputation, bringing together independent chefs and food makers to create a unique, outdoor eating experience with communal tables. Ten new traders promise to tantalise taste buds with endless culinary options from vegetarian food stalls, Greek food, pizza specialists, Portuguese desserts, as well as gourmet flavoured popcorn and coffee stalls.

The smaller details

Festival director Damon Forbes said that he and his team are looking forward to bringing South Africans another stellar event. "We were really happy about the way the festival turned out last year and the success of the recent Cape Town event, so to be honest there was not a lot that needed to change. What we have focussed on for the Jozi event is the smaller details behind the scenes, for example, people flow and movement around the venue, as well as things like restroom locations," he said.

"Parklife has become known for not only constantly providing a wide variety of bands and food options, but for being an awesome day out and a huge social gathering for people. The festival's popularity is fast growing because word of mouth has been so solid. What makes this festival particularly appealing is the fact that it is totally family friendly."

All you need to do is bring along good vibes, a picnic blankets, maybe a chair or two and a brollie for good luck, and enjoy a great day out under the African sun. Gates open at 10am, ticket price (excluding ticketing fee) starts from R295 to R395.
