After a successful launch earlier this year, Littlegig, the world’s only all-inclusive 24-hour festival returns to Wiesenhof Farm near Cape Town from 28-29 January 2017.

Curated around experiences, the gig promises an exciting line-up of international music, food tastings, fine art, fashion and design.

"If the first Littlegig 24h Festival moved you, the next one will be transporting," says founder and curator Georgia Black. "We’ve gone all out to source people doing the most interesting things with music, food, wine and design; all in the spirit of open-minded curiosity and creative expression. And we’re keeping the festival small and intimate, which is key to the Littlegig experience."

Headlining the foodie front is the wonder chef behind Copenhagen’s Alchemist restaurant, Rasmus Munk. Other stars include German electronic violinist Seth Schwarz, globetrotting DJ Captain Planet and internationally acclaimed South African music producer Culoe de Song.

An integral part of the experience is the incorporation of outdoor art and contemporary design. Highlights from last year’s gig, such as a gin bar installation designed by Porky Hefer and floating swans by architect and artist duo, Sean and Justine Mahoney will be complemented by new and bespoke pieces by local talents such as Xandre Kriel, Atang Tshikare and Rowan Smith.

Other festival highlights include a dance floor on a basketball court, a hair and make-up salon, a forest banquet, live bands, wine tastings, chef-and-farmer tasting experiences, a beautiful lake for swimming and a concept store filled with fashion.

Ticket prices (including all food, drinks and accommodation): R2,500 for a camping ticket, from R3,150 - R4,500 for a glamping ticket and R1,950 for a daytrip ticket (accommodation not included). Visit Littlegig.co.za
