Design Indaba Music 2015

Join Design Indaba's annual music extravaganza as we set the city of Cape Town alight with the sounds and rhythms of Africa.

It’s about new sounds and old, harnessing a collaborative spirit, giving a platform to fresh local talent and, of course, ending each night of the festival with a party to remember.

Get ready for an audio adventure like no other with Design Indaba Music 2015.

For three days, Design Indabar presented by Grolsch showcases an array of African music at the Delegate Clubhouse across the road from the CTICC after the conference.

On Thursday 26 February, Design Indaba's main music event takes place at the Side Show, presenting a sonic explosion of African talent.
