Introduction

Feastival goes after dark for its Halloween edition, The Haunted Feast, taking over Grand Africa Café & Beach on 31 October 2026. Headlined by Zakes Bantwini & Friends, the event brings the Feastival format into a Halloween setting, combining music with food, dining, entertainment, and a series of immersive experiences.

Rather than being a straightforward electronic music event, The Haunted Feast brings together several parts of the Feastival experience under one roof. Expect a curated food market, elevated dining, live performances, cocktails, games, and plenty to explore around the venue. It is also part of Feastival’s 10-year celebration, giving this Halloween edition a little extra significance.

Artists & Lineup

The musical centrepiece of The Haunted Feast is Zakes Bantwini, whose performance brings his distinctive blend of South African electronic and Afro-rooted sounds to the Grand Africa stage. The official listing also confirms a band headliner coming soon, while the wider lineup is still to be announced.

Music forms one part of a broader programme rather than the entire focus of the event. With live performances alongside the dining, entertainment, and immersive elements, The Haunted Feast is designed as a multi-part night out rather than a conventional single-stage festival.

What to Expect

✅ Zakes Bantwini & Friends as the DJ headliner
✅ A band headliner still to be announced
✅ Curated food market and elevated dining
✅ Live performances and cocktails
✅ Haunted casino and twisted karaoke
✅ Halloween cinema and gaming rooms
✅ Secret dancefloor, hidden spaces, and immersive experiences

Venue

Grand Africa Café & Beach at Granger Bay provides the setting for The Haunted Feast, bringing the Halloween concept to one of Cape Town’s established waterfront entertainment venues. The event uses the venue as an environment to explore rather than simply a place to watch performances, with different spaces and experiences incorporated throughout the evening.

Event Tips

✅ Dress for the occasion and lean into the Halloween theme.
✅ Allow time to explore the different spaces and experiences around the venue.
✅ The event is strictly 18+, so bring valid identification.
✅ The official event runs from 18:00 on 31 October until 02:00 on 1 November.
✅ Keep an eye on official Feastival channels for the upcoming band headliner announcement.
✅ Expect some elements to remain unannounced until the event itself.

Is This Event for You?

The Haunted Feast should suit festival-goers who enjoy electronic and Afro-rooted music but want more than a traditional dancefloor experience. The combination of Zakes Bantwini, live entertainment, food, dining, Halloween activities, and immersive spaces gives the event a broader social and entertainment focus.

If you’re looking specifically for an underground electronic music festival with a large lineup and multiple music stages, this is a different proposition. Feastival is built around the full night out, with music forming one part of a much wider Halloween experience. For anyone keen to dress up, explore, eat, dance, and see where the night takes them, the format offers plenty to discover.
