Now in its third year, the cult Afropunk festival (which also takes place in New York, Atlanta, Paris and London) brings together a world class line-up of the hottest names in black alternative music and is one of the most eagerly anticipated music festivals on the South African calendar.

For many the chance to connect and engage with a like-minded alternative crowd is a major part of the attraction and dressing up in the most flamboyant African punk outfits you can imagine is all part of the joy of Afropunk, a festival that is all about celebrating Africa’s open-minded, non-conforming and unconventional communities.
