Ultra SA 2016 - Update

The organisers of the countries biggest electronic dance event have heard the plea's of the many Cape Town festival goers and have catered for what they've asked for, Yup, Cape Town will be getting 2 days of Ultra Madness next year as well. Also much was debated about the new venue for the Cape Town and many agreed that the Ostrich Ranch would be better suited so it has been moved back there for the 2016 leg of Ultra South Africa. Camping facilities will be made available at a later date for Ostrich Ranch as well. So Cape Town, don't say nobody listens to you!

Dates for the shows in Johannesburg remain the same, Friday, February 26th and Saturday, February 27th. New dates for Cape Town are Saturday, February 27th and Sunday, February 28th. 

People who have already purchased early bird tickets for the show in Cape Town need not to worry about paying extra as organisers are rewarding their loyal Ultra South African fans with access to both days for the price of their single day pass. 

Tickets are still available for both events and the prices are as follows:

GA 2-day Combo

• Advanced price: R1000
• Full Price: R1250

VIP 2-day Combo

• Advanced Price: R1500
• Full Price: R2000

*One ticket purchase will grant you access for the 2-day festival of choice, either in Cape Town or Johannesburg. Note that ticket prices are not inclusive of camping. More details will be made available at a later date for that.

Relive Ultra Music Festival Miami 2014

Probably the most antiscipated event from Ultra other than the music festival is the official release of their aftermovies. With Final Kid in charge of the mammoth task in creating the ultimate experience for fans around the world to relive the event, they have their work cutout with them having to make this years even better than the years before which was mind blowing! They're calling this video "a short movie" with the tag line "United We Dance" and is different from previous after movies with only one track featured in the entire 15 minute duration. Also they feature interviews with the various DJ's and some of the frequent fans that visit the festival. All in all it still is a damn good production, the added insights from the DJ's really give you a sense of what they're going through while performing for the masses and it just makes you want to be there, to experience it all! If theres one thing an Ultra After Movie does, it makes you want to attend the next one and this definitely does that, enjoy!

Monday Choon: Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike - Chattahoochee

Tomorrowland, possibly the worlds biggest party took place in Belgium this weekend. The world's best were present to entertain the crowd which was in excess of 180,000 people. The likes of Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, Hardwell, Nicky Romero, Carl Cox, Fedde le Grand to mention a few and not forgetting the resident DJ's Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike whom are featured this week with their anthem for Tomorrowland as this weeks choon. I managed to catch a few sets from the live broadcast on youtube, the scenes looked insane apart from the torrential down pour on Saturday night. It looked like another epic year in the outskirts of Antwerp and yet again left millions who couldn't attend with a severe case of FOMO.
