Known as the “official party of the Corona Open J-Bay”, the Park Off Music Festival remains a stand-out event on the J-Bay Surf Festival calendar. The four-day-long outdoor festival features a line-up of some of South Africa’s biggest musos.
Fans can look forward to memorable performances by this year’s eclectic mix of musicians slated to take the stage, which includes singer-songwriter Jeremy Loops, Pretoria-born band Desmond and the Tutus, live-electronic group GoodLuck, “genre-fluid” singer and producer Muzi, and surfer and musician Steven Sawyer. Adding a unique flair to the mix are DJs TiMO ODV, Dean Fuel, Ronald Rowley, Rimix, Tanya Vee, Detroit, Trist, Jake White Disco, Aidin Caye, and Abby Nurock.
Now in its second year, the festival continues to entertain both local and international visitors alike, with world-class, quality music entertainment. The event will take place at the iconic Supertubes Park, with the world’s most famous right-hand point break, Supertubes, as the setting of note.
“The J-Bay Open is hands down one of the best events on the WSL tour, for spectators. Goosebump moments are guaranteed throughout the week of surfing and celebrating”, says Park Off organiser Graham Kennedy. “The Park Off festival site is fully covered by tents, so come rain or shine, it’s gonna be a good time!”.
From the event organisers, to the visitors and musicians themselves, festival-goers are gearing up to enjoy the upcoming festivities. Music fans are in for a treat, and can even expect to hear new tunes. “I can’t wait to play these new songs that I’ve been working on. To say I’m excited is an understatement” says singer and producer Muzi.
Whether attendees are dedicated surf fanatics looking to unwind after a day at the Corona Open J-Bay, or are in town solely for the live show experience, there’s something for audience members of all ages and backgrounds. From indie, to pop, rock, acoustic and alternative music, the festival caters to the wide range of music preferences held by the thousands of festival-goers who pack the venue, night after night.
For the night owls that like to dance the night away, “The After Party” shows will take place on each night of the festival, from 10pm till 3am. The After Party venue is the famed Jolly Dolphin, complete with an ocean view. The first night, hosted by Gqeberha’s very own house music favourite, Just Groovin’, features DJs Vega, Celso, R&R, and Jay Kay. Night two, hosted by Cape Town surf-skate brand, Float Apparel, will feature Sion, Lovers, Los Jetsons, and R&R. Night three’s line-up, hosted by Park Off Music, includes Rimix, Jake White Disco, Ronald Rowley, and Dean Fuel. The final after party, hosted by Sunday Friends, will close off with Rimix, Detroit, Ronald Rowley, Faff & Foos, and L.H.O.
The Park Off Music Festival is a mainstay on the July calendar, with good reason, and is not to be missed. Food and drinks will be on sale throughout the duration of the festival.
