Preparations are in top gear for the Pure&Crafted SA Festival scheduled to hold in Johannesburg on September 30 with the event promising to feature a celebration of motorcycles and customisation with live music and gourmet food stands at the Ground in Muldersdrift in the Gauteng province of South Africa.
The organisers said the Pure&Crafted SA, which is inspired by Pure&Crafted Berlin, Germany, is designed to celebrate the growing custom motorcycle scene in South Africa and the festival being hosted by BMW Motorrad, the motorcycle division of BMW, will include displays of the best vintage and heritage motorcycles in the country.
Apart from motorcycles, the festival also promises a 14-hour live music from top international and local artists across two stages with Belgium-based DJ and producer Lost Frequencies, headlining the Main Stage. He will be performing in Johannesburg for the first time and will be joined by local acts such as DJ Fresh, Timo ODV, Euphonik, Dean Fuel, Kyle Worde, Chunda, Munki, Matthew Mole, Bye Beneco, The Rocketeers, Bianca Blanc and Ricky H.
On the Vintage Stage, South African-Swiss DJ and deep house producer, Nora en Pure will headline with her chart-topping music, including the international hit single, Come with Me. Joining Nora en Pure will be local DJ’s Tomorrow’s Will, Guy Herman, Abby Nurock, Warren Bokwe, Strange Loving, Bantwanas, Kyle Cassim and Kyle Watson.
More than 30 local food and drink vendors will be on site serving gourmet street food, craft beer, gin as well as cocktails. Unique to Pure&Crafted SA will be the Whitley Neill High G&T, an experience that involves sipping a gin and tonic cocktail while going around one of the festival’s key attractions the Ferris Wheel.
In the New Heritage area, festival goers will be spoiled for choice by unique stands. A host of artisanal craft and bespoke design from some of South Africa’s most stylish home-grown brands will be on offer. Stalls will offer custom helmets, leather and denim goods, wood products and watches as well as the very best artisans (tattoo and grooming included) from Cape Town including Dusty Rebels and The Bombshells, The House of Machines, Wolf & Maiden, Real+Simple and Bonafide Barbers.
Motorcycle stunt shows will be hosted by Mat Durrans and Harry Fisher from The Bike Show in the Smoking Rubber Arena and performed by world-renowned Irish international stunt rider, Mattie Griffin.
