Cape Town Electro Fest announces 2018 dates

Now in its sixth edition, CTEMF announced plans to expand its satellite events to Durban and Johannesburg on 6 and 7 April 2018 respectively.

“CTEMF will no longer be held in the first week of February, instead the seventh edition of CTEMF will be held over the first week in April 2018,” the event organisers said. “In addition to the festival’s new dates, CTEMF also announced plans to expand their satellite events to Durban for the very first time with CTEMF events taking place in Durban and Johannesburg on the 6 and 7 April 2018 respectively.”

CTEMF will host free workshops and showcases over three days where industry luminaries from around the world will cross paths with South Africa's established and up-and-coming talents to share stories, skills and insights. The Cape Town workshops will take place at various locations around the city from 3 to 5 April.

Founded in 2012, CTEMF has gained international recognition for being one of the most relevant and forward-thinking events on Africa’s music festival calendar. It has become a platform where international and local artists share the stage. As such, the event has continued to garner global appreciation for hosting an original mix of electronic music.

CTEMF 2018 dates:

• Festival – 6 to 8 April 2018
• Workshops – 3 to 5 April 2018
• Durban satellite event – 6 April 2018
• Johannesburg satellite event – 7 April 2018

Organisers are yet to release a list of artists who will perform at the festival. Last year, the fiesta was headlined by South Africa’s Jazzuelle, Jullian Gomes and Portable (aka Bodycode) as well as duo Âme (German), electro duo Coldcut (UK), Dave Clarke (UK), Peanut Butter Wolf (US) and Heidi (Canada).
