Cape Town – It’s almost time for Synergy Live, so we decided to bring you all the info you need about this 3-day festival.
Synergy Live is happening at Theewaterskloof, less than an hour outside of The Mother City, from Friday 28 November to Sunday 30 November 2014.
The festival features 13 international headliners, a colossal line-up of SA bands, live acts, comedians and electronic artists.
The international headliners are: Bombay Bicycle Club, Congorock, Felix Cartal, S.P.Y, Stimming, Captain Hook, Egbert, Secret Cinema, Ron Costa, Anna, Lake People, Atmos & Mindwave.
Stages:
As with any respected major festival, anywhere on the planet, the Main Stage is what excites the imagination long before the three-day weekend reveal unwinds. It’s a full widescreen HD experience that forms the on-going soundtrack to a spectacular weekend in the sun.
The Red Bull Studio Live experience will deliver the finest Electronica featuring international headliners Congorock, Felix Cartal, S.P.Y, Egbert & Secret Cinema.
The Sirius Sunday Electronic Music Experience is a nine-hour electronic music party, from the likes of international acts Captain Hook, right through Atmos and Mindwave.
The ERA Beach Club, with mandatory sarongs, cocktails and a collection of deep house and techno, will provide a party of epic proportion. Dished up by Cape Town’s CBD of dance, ERA, together with their whole crew and fiery foursome of international cameo acts – Stimming, Ron Costa, Lake People and DJ Anna – ERA Beach Club looks set to be the perfect go-between stages.
And for laughs? Look no further than The Comedy Club, the laughter zone. With its non-stop daily stand-up makes for a welcome respite between sets from some of the biggest names in music today.

Cash and cards:
The motto still holds: cash is king and plastic fantastic. We’ll have ATM machines on-site, but if you want to avoid paying pesky transaction fees and standing in queues, rather bring enough cash to last the weekend. There will also be credit & debit card facilities at the main and electronic stage bars, but remember, food and trade vendors generally only accept cash.
Toilets and showers:
This year at Synergy Live we’ve gone above and beyond in making sure your festival experience is an easy one – and that includes yet again increasing the number of toilet and shower facilities. As always, they’ll be tended to by our support staff to ensure they’re clean and tidy.
Public safety services:
To ensure everyone is safe and sound, Synergy-designated paramedics, security and firefighting crews will be on hand around the clock for the duration of the festival. In the event of an emergency please alert a Synergy Live or security official immediately.
Water points:
The Theewaterskloof dam might be the main water supply for Cape Town, however the water in the dam is not fit for drinking unless you are a fish or a freak. Look out for the green water towers with taps located around the festival site to provide fresh water for drinking or the designated safe to drink points in the permanent bathroom facilities. Bottled water will also be available at all bars.
Synergy Live requires hundreds of thousands of litres of water over a period of three days. Please use water sparingly.
Lost property
All lost property can be reported, dropped off or collected from the Production Office, just off the main tar road, by the toilet / shower block. Please report any theft or suspicious activity to the on-site security officers or the SA Police services on duty.
