We Love Summer NYE Festival 2026

Introduction

Cape Town is getting a very different kind of New Year’s Eve celebration in 2026. We Love Summer NYE returns to The Port for a large-scale multi-stage festival bringing together 10 festival brands and 10 stages under one roof. Rather than a single dancefloor with one musical identity, the event will transform the industrial venue into 10 different worlds, each with its own sound, atmosphere, and experience. The programme spans house and electronic music through to live music and other sounds, giving festival-goers plenty of choice as the night builds towards the New Year countdown.
