Ultra South Africa 2016 - Additional Line Up

Just when we thought the Ultra South Africa organisers have provided us with the best line up for this years event, they go and spring this on us. As announced today, this years event will also include performances from Fedde le Grand, W&W who return for their second stint at Ultra SA and Claptone! They join the already long line up of global superstars in EDM set to perform in Johannesburg and Cape Town at the end of February this year. 

This surprise announcement comes in with just little over six weeks till the main event, and will sure get fans even more excited for whats to come. Fedde le rand, famous for his hit tracks "Put your hands up for Detroit" and "Sparks" is no stranger to Ultra events as he remains a firm favourite with crowds in Miami and Europe, the Dutch DJ's Electro House style is no doubt to be a hit with the local crowd. 

The Dutch DJ duo of W&W totally killed it in the first Ultra, their high energy, fast paced hard style trance is certainly an adrenaline building experience and they're coming back to give us more. They're a personal favourite of mine so I will be looking forward to thier set. The masked man who was responsible for some of the hottest deep house tunes of 2015, that is Claptone will also be in attendance. 

Also announced today, One day tickets will be available for purchase, for those who cannot attend both days. One day passes are already availabe online from the ticket portal at R790 each. The full artist line up as well as various stage line up was made available today as well. For more information be sure to follow Utra South Africa on their various social media streams.

Ultra South Africa 2016: Resistance

After proving to be a raving success at last years Miami Ultra Music Festival, organisers of the event have decided to take the Resistance stage world wide with Ultra Europe getting to experience it and now its the turn of South Africa! What is resistance all about though? As we all know there is a qide variety of Electronic music and whilsts the mainstream might be House, Trance and Dance music, there are loads of underground electronic music producers out there whom are making some damn good music which is far from the almost commercialised EDM we're used to hearing. 

What can one expect at Resistance? Unique deep house, techno underground beats by some of the best in the business. Some of the headliners to the Ultra SA 2016 Resistance stage are, Seth Troxler, The Martinez Brothers and South Africa's very own Black Coffee who just yesterday was announced as one of the performing artists at this years Coachella Festival. It's going to be different but as seen in Miami, it could be one of the better stages to be at, so don't keep yourself stuck at Mainstage.

Don't forget, those attending the Cape Town event can now purchase camping tickets for the venue, starting off at R100 for General Camping (requires you to bring your own tent) and R2595 for Premium Camping (tent, beds provided).
