The original Holi Festival in India is a huge fun-filled celebration of music and dancing, uniquely characterized by throwing special coloured powder into the air (and at each other) to express freedom and the colour of everyday life. The festival concept has quickly gained popularity worldwide with colour festivals springing up in Berlin, Dresden, Munich, Hannover, the USA and Singapore. Now it’s South Africa’s turn to launch its own HOLI ONE Colour Festival, with the first event kicking off in Cape Town on 2 March and then in Johannesburg on 6 April.

Adding to the spectacle of colour and celebration is the impressive line-up of the top electronic dance music DJs on the scene today. Kicking off the festivities at 12:00 will be Sadhu Sensi, with his eclectic mix of ethnic sounds, followed by DJ Mighty bringing an energetic fusion of house and jazz to the festival.

Richard The Third will be taking festivalgoers on a rollercoaster ride of the best modern bass music as he initiates the first throwing of the powder into the open sky at 14:00. From there after, countdowns will be made for the throwing of the powder on the hour, every hour until 22:00, creating the visual experience of a lifetime with the beautiful backdrop of Table Mountain and the grand Cape Town City Hall.

By this time, festivalgoers will be covered in powder and enjoying the celebration of life, love and colour. Next up on the line-up will be world music maestro, Ma’orginal followed by Kid Fonque with his otherworldly rhythm and sounds. Mathias Schwarz, better known as Super Flu, from Germany will bring an international sound to the festival with some crispy bass beats and smoking hot performance. Toby2Shoes then hits the decks bringing his bouncy set to the HOLI ONE Colour Festival before the chart topping GoodLuck take to the stage to watch the sun go down and the floodlights light up. As night falls, SAMA nominees, Mix n Blend and the master of drum ‘n’ bass, Niskerone, will be gracing the decks to bring the harder beats and a mash-up of musical genres as the floodlights hit the colour and everyone is celebrating the festival motto of ‘We Are All One’.
