Synergy Joburg moves venue

Johannesburg - The Joburg leg of the Synergy live festival has moved from Crocodile Creek to Newtown Park, in front of the Bassline, due to new curfew and sound restriction in the Creek.

Synergy decided on the move as the restrictions "would have hampered the integrity of the show as well as fans and bands alike", according the a press release.

After a fair amount of deliberation we are changing the venue for Johannesburg to Newtown Park and Bassline. Apologies for the short notice

Newtown Park will host the bands in an outdoor setting, we would never take that away, still on grass with all the same areas

Bassline will host the DJs. The doors will still open at 12. We have added additional security.
