ORIGIN FESTIVAL 2023

ABOUT

+++ A WEEKEND OF PSYCHEDELIC MUSIC, VISIONARY ART AND CONSCIOUS CULTURE +++

27-29 January 2023

Elandskloof Guest Farm

For the 2023 edition of Origin we will limit attendance to 3000 tickets only (1000 tickets per Ticket-Tier).

Ticket prices will remain the same as the 2022 edition (with Tier 1 being even cheaper than the previous edition) to make the festival as affordable as possible while ensuring a sustainable event that remains at the high production standards we strive for.

For nearly two decades Origin Festival has been synonymous for pushing the boundaries of outdoor events in South Africa.  Having relaunched in 2022 after the global pandemic under regulations that limited the event to only allowing 2000 people to attend (down from previous years of 5000 attendees,) and after seeing what a fresh and amazing energy it was to scale down and re-focus we have decided to increase the amount of tickets we will offer for the 2023 edition, but not to the same amounts as pre-pandemic years.  

We believe regrowing slowly and with a renewed focus will only make Origin stronger for the years to follow, and we thank all of you who share and trust in this vision too.

ORIGIN FLOOR

A fresh new Psychedelic Temple envisioned and built by world leading dance floor creators, sound-tracked by the best Psychedelic music from around the globe!  Rocking through Friday night with amazing local talent Psytrance talent, followed by chilled beats rolling through Saturday morning and lunchtime, before launching into the stratosphere again for Saturday night and all day Sunday with more big stomping dance floor beats.

Friday 6pm - Sunday 4pm

Stage & Dancefloor designed by Artescape, with more collaborators to be announced.

BEATS STAGE

After 2022's edition giving us what was without doubt the most energetic Beats floor we have ever had, we cannot wait to make the circle bigger and shake bodies amongst the trees alongside the beautiful Elandskloof river. The grass lawn awaits your towels where you can dip into the fresh mountain water between groovy dancefloor sessions. 

Warm Techno and Organic Deep House collide into a euphoric explosion of good vibes!  

Saturday 10am - Sunday 4pm
