  • Greetings beautiful people

    The wait is finally over and Connexion 2024-25 is released unto the world. We apologize for the delay but promise that the wait was worth it.

    Last year was an absolute beast of a party with people from all over the world attending, and this year promises to be even bigger. So many beautiful positive changes happening with Connexion and it is our hope that these changes meet your expectations and exceed them.

    What to Expect:

    Connexion is now morphing into a World Music Festival with 3 separate stages. Our Headliners this year across the genres and stages are massive! All information will be released steadily over the coming weeks so stay tuned.

    Stage 1: After having live acoustic acts for the first time last year, we are excited to bring you some more awesome live acts ranging from acoustic, hip hop and down tempo genres.

    Hosted by Cody locks Caprari and The Down Temple.

    Stage 2: Naturally our roots are underground and psychedelic so you can expect to have your senses tickled by our Psy floor as usual. We will be hosting various local and international label showcases throught the 5 days of the event.

    Hosted by Baris Cakal and Danny Beneke

    Stage 3: The third floor will feature only the finest Drum & Bass, Techno, Progressive and happier beats.

    Hosted by Savage Productions .

    Our aim is to be more inclusive for all moving forward.

    Wait! There's more! :

    We are super excited to announce that Connexion will now be child friendly, which is something that has been requested over the years. We intend to have a full kiddies area separate from the rest of the party, loaded with exciting activities to keep them busy. Jumping castles, performers, games, activities, evening cinema with popcorn machines etc.
