The father of techno lands in South Africa for the first time: Sven Väth x Amnesia on New Year’s Eve
Amnesia’s second legendary New Year’s Eve edition returns once again to Cabo Beach in Cape Town, to bid farewell to 2025 by the Atlantic — but this year with a decisive twist: techno pioneer Sven Väth will set foot in South Africa for the very first time in his iconic career as a DJ. This debut is not only a milestone for him, but it also marks the beginning of Amnesia’s global 50th anniversary celebrations.
Why Cabo Beach again?
Because the format is a perfect fit: sunset, countdown, and an open-air night by the sea that demands you stay. The energy of Ibiza shifts latitude, but the ritual remains: carefully curated music, quality sound, and community built around the booth.
Headliner: Sven Väth
Sven Väth is pure techno legacy: a storyteller selector, vinyl advocate, and master of marathon sets. The ideal guide for a night that starts golden at sunset and explodes into the New Year. The wait ends here — for the first time in South Africa.
The venue: Cabo Beach
Cabo Beach blends European design, open-air spaces, and ocean views. A smooth and seductive layout for moving, reconnecting, and letting the music dictate the rhythm: groove at sunset, euphoria when the clock hits zero.
The Amnesia philosophy, in a new latitude
From the Terrace to the Cape: sound, detail, and dancefloor culture. What defines Amnesia since 1976, now set against Cape Town’s unique landscape.
