Introduction

We House Sundays Festival takes its house music philosophy out of the city and into the mountains for three days under the stars. From 18 to 20 December 2026, Du Kloof Lodge becomes the setting for an intimate house music gathering built around the relationship between music, nature and community. Rather than a large scale festival format, We House Sundays focuses on a more contained weekend experience, with day and night programming designed for people who want to spend more time on the dancefloor and less time rushing between stages. It is a natural extension of the We House Sundays identity, which centres house music and brings artists, dancers and music lovers together in Cape Town and beyond.

Artists & Lineup

The 2026 artist lineup is TBC, but the musical direction is confirmed: this is a dedicated house music weekend with programming spanning the day and into the night. Previous We House Sundays events have been rooted in house and related sounds, with a focus on DJs and selectors rather than a broad multi genre festival programme. For the 2026 festival, the emphasis remains on the house music experience, allowing the setting at Du Kloof Lodge to become part of the journey as the music moves from afternoon sessions into the evening and later hours.

Is This Event for You?

We House Sundays Festival should appeal to listeners who would rather spend a weekend immersed in house music than move between a large number of unrelated genres and stages. The three day format and mountain setting make it particularly suited to festival-goers who enjoy a slower, more contained weekend experience where the environment is part of the appeal. If you prefer large scale festivals with multiple genres, major headline acts and extensive production, this may feel more intimate than what you’re looking for. For house music lovers who value music, nature and community, the format offers something considerably more focused.
