Last night, Red Bull Unlocked made its explosive debut in Cape Town, bringing together the Mother City’s most iconic nightlife venues and an all-star line-up of artists for an unforgettable, one-night-only party at Makers Landing, V&A Waterfront. This immersive celebration of Cape Town’s vibrant culture was a spectacular showcase of the city’s finest bars, clubs, pubs and lounges creating a new standard for nightlife experiences.
From hidden bars to pop-up games and top-tier culinary delights, the night was packed with Red Bull-style surprises. The debut Mother City event follows the huge success of Red Bull Unlocked Johannesburg in 2023 and took its cues from similar events that have taken place in cities such as Manchester, Nashville, and Melbourne, each with a unique local flair.
“Red Bull Unlocked Cape Town was about bringing the best of the city’s nightlife into one space. It was a night of non-stop energy and creativity, showcasing the incredible talent Cape Town has to offer,” commented Fresh By Caddy form YFM.
The excitement kicked off as soon as doors opened at 2:00 PM, and the dancefloors stayed packed until the final beats echoed through the venue late into the night. A collaboration with Uber meant that revellers got to and from the venue safely and ensured smooth traffic flow. For those lucky enough to snag a ticket, this was a night they won’t soon forget.
