Is This Event for You?

If you’re into psytrance, psychedelic electronic music and late-night Cape Town dancefloors, LemonTrip pres. Northen Lights is worth having on your radar. The international debut of Northen Lights in Cape Town gives the night a clear focal point, while the local support is intended to represent the city’s psychedelic scene. It is less suited to anyone looking for a broad multi-genre festival or daytime outdoor gathering. Instead, this is a focused club-style experience built around one night, one venue, and a psychedelic sound journey.
