The Basique Festival 2020 is bringing you the best in electronic music once again! Bazique is said to be a series of ‘extraordinary events, a carnival of entertainment, a circus of performances, a bounty of beats from all corners of the globe, and a gathering place for legends, lovers and like-minded souls’. In fact, the festival has become so popular, it was voted the ‘World’s Best Boutique Festival ‘ at the Tuvalu International Festival Awards in 2019.
“Our gift to you; an adventure-filled excursion and a multi-dimensional playground – the hardest part will be deciding what to be doing when and where.”
When and where
The multi-day electronic festival is set to take place from 13 to 15 March 2020 in Ruitersvlei Estate south of the Paarl.
“Our beautiful new home, Ruitersvlei Estate, has a big, warm water swimming dam, an epic playa for the three night time stages and is only 35 mins from Cape Town, near Paarl which means almost guaranteed sunshine!”
