CTEMF-2014

CTEMF 2014 was a monumental success. Not only was the set up well executed, sound and visuals the best they could be and logistics wrapped up nice and neatly and ready to go, but the line-up attracted one of the most diverse crowds Cape Town has seen in a long time.

Highlights included Crazy White Boy, J.Phlip, Fever Trails, Cid Rim, Dirty Paraffin, Noisia, Shimza, Black Coffee and Dixon. The Grand Parade acted as a fantastic venue which proves that festivals no longer have to take place on a farm 2 hours out of town, but can take place in the CBD, where the ability to see world class music is far more accessible. CTEMF definitely surpassed its reputation. Progression, check. Innovation, check. Integration, a ‘check’ which might not be fully grown yet, but it certainly set the bar pretty high.
