Ultra SA 2017: Phase One Headliners

With Early Bird tickets selling out in a flash, the wait was on for tier 1 tickets to go on sale yesterday but along with the second wave of ticket sales , organisers dropped the names of two of the headliners that will be gracing the Main Stage next year at both Cape Town and Joburg shows.

First up we have David Guetta, it will be the first time for the Frenchman to play at Ultra South Africa. Having visited the country over five years ago it was about time he made a come back. He has had many hits over the past few years, being one of the firt DJ's to excel in the commerical sector with many of his tracks making the top 40 charts on various radio stations. This earning him a cult status and saw him catapult his career, since then he's played at many major festivals as well at this years opening and closing ceremonies at Euro 2016. He is no stranger to the Ultra family as he is a regular at Ultra Miami and also recently played at Ultra Europe. South Africa has much to look forward to from him. 

The second headliner needs no introduction, Ultra South Africa will always hold a dear place in his heart as it was the first Ultra Music Festival he played at and was such a hit first time round that they brought him back the very next year. Who am I talking about? None other that the prodigal son Martin Garrix! The young Dutchman is back after skipping last year and was actually brought back because of high demand by you the fans. Yes, such is his talent, he has continued to make multi-platinum tracks and play on the main stages of all the major festivals. I'm sure he is just as excited to be back in South Africa next year.

Ultra South Africa 2017

Just 5 months after we were wowed by an amazing two day spectacular that was Ultra South Africa 2016, organizers of SA's largest electronic dance music event have announced that Ultra South Africa will be back in 2017! Unlike this years event, next year will see it revert back to the one day in each city, in my opinion it is better seeing that many suffered from burnout after the first day but not only that, in terms of logistics and costs, to squeeze in so much in 3 days, in two cities must have been a nightmare but never the less they got it done.

There are some changes to next years event though, the venue of the Cape Town leg has moved to the iconic Cape Town Stadium. The venue is a fantastic choice by the organisers, it makes sense as it's closer to the CBD with ample of parking and safety. The stadium is no stranger from hosting large events, from the FIFA World Cup to major concerts over the years, so it's more than capable of handling the crowds. Another interesting point to note is the concave glass roof of the stadium, it's designed in such a way to amplify the sound and give the crowds the best possible acoustics . So people attending the Cape Town event, be prepared to be blown away!

Johannesburg's venue remains the same for the 4th year running, the Nasrec Expo Center is almost like the home of Ultra South Africa. It has the largest crowd out of the two and it really is like nothing you've experienced before, I've been there for all 3 years so far so I speak first hand at how incredible it is. Ultra will be going out in full force again next year to bring you the best sound, lighting, pyrotechnics and of course, the world's best DJ's! Pre-registration and Early Bird ticket sales have already begun, so if you've already managed to get your hand on some of those tickets, well done! For the others, you still can register and buy them online now!
