Roots & Fruits 2024
After a hiatus that left a hole in the hearts of many, Roots & Fruits announces its triumphant return and of course we are super excited to see its return to the Cape Town streets.
Known for its groundbreaking approach to booking live acts and championing diverse line-ups, Roots & Fruits is set to reignite the stage with a renewed dedication to exploring the past, present, and future of different musical genres.
Roots & Fruits first burst onto the scene 5 years ago, captivating audiences with its innovative blend of live performances, DJ sets, and immersive experiences. The party quickly became a cornerstone of Cape Town's nightlife, earning a reputation for pushing boundaries and spotlighting emerging talent.
True to its roots, Roots & Fruits will continue its tradition of curating packed line-ups that reflect the diverse sounds and voices shaping the modern South African music landscape. We aim to shine a light on all the incredible talent our country has to offer, creating a safe space for musicians and revellers to express themselves freely.
The theme for the first event is Hip Hop, with the Roots stage exploring the history of a genre which is arguably the most popular in the world. Gracing the stage will be a selection of favourites from past events, including Young Supreme, Retrorootz, Alvhinator, DJ KIXI and Davve Beats.
On the Fruits stage we dive into the current sounds within the genre, local and international, including live performances by Mercedes, Ziggy4X, Holy Alpha, Tembipowers and Lookatups, and DJ sets from Tokio, DJ Diamond, Fish Parcel, Rarri, International Pantsula, DollaMadeThis and our residents.
The first comeback event is scheduled to take place on 24 February at Club Paradise (9 Albertus St, District Six, Cape Town), with tickets available for purchase here.
