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
Zakes Bantwini leads the lineup for The Haunted Feast, bringing his signature Afro house sound to Grand Africa. Joining him are Shekhinah, Keilamanjaro, Phodi, Skai Lounge, Acoustic Element Live with Amy Jones & Mia Liel, Nomadic Orchestra, Chante, Dani B, Lets B2B Phee and Maxxyz.
From Afro house and electronic sounds to live instrumentation and vocal performances, there’s a good mix on the bill. But the music is only part of the story. The Haunted Feast combines the lineup with dining, entertainment and immersive Halloween elements, making this one for those looking to switch up the usual jol and experience something a little different.

Venue

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.

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.
