Vortex Open Source celebrates the summer solstice with an all-encompassing psychedelic experience of music, dance, and art. Three dance floors bring you mind-blowing psytrance, soul-shifting chillout, and foot-grooving techno and prog under brilliantly shaded dancefloors. Kick back near the river with yoga, massage, workshops, and flow arts between the trees. Enter the Vortex at South Africa’s only 5-day outdoor music festival and be transformed.

Getting to a Vortex festival is an adventure itself, and easy too! Just a short trip out of Cape Town, you can rent a car, connect with other festival-goers, or book a ride. The journey begins before you get to paradise, and what a great way to connect with Vortex friends and family.

Accommodation:
Those of you who purchased festival tickets from either Quicket or an outlet/ambassador there is shaded camping in the inspiringly beautiful forest along the many rivers and a demarcated, secure area to park your car. Pitch your tent and get creative – this will be your home for the whole five days! Bring your hammocks, fairy lights, and swimming gear, and make yourself comfortable.
LEAVE NO TRACE – please keep your camping zones and dance floors the way you found it – nature is beautiful, let’s leave it that way)
