# Event Details - **Event Name**: Connexion NYE festival 2026-27 - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 30 Dec, 2026 at 12:00 pm – Sat, 02 Jan, 2027 at 04:00 pm (+02:00) - **Event Description**: As the year comes to a close and a new journey begins, we welcome you back home to Connexion - a celebration of music, community, creativity, and unity. After the pure magic and musical bliss of our previous gathering, we are beyond excited to return for the 9th edition of Connexion. Each year this experience grows stronger, bringing together beautiful souls, world-class artists, and passionate music lovers from across South Africa and around the globe. Seeing our family grow year after year fills us with gratitude and inspires us to keep creating something truly special. From the very beginning, Connexion has been about exactly that - connection. Connecting people, cultures, sounds, dancefloors, and communities. We have always aimed to unite the South African outdoor music scene by showcasing artists from all corners of the country alongside incredible international talent, and this year will be no different. From the 30th of December 2026 to the 2nd of January 2027, we return to our beautiful home at The Oaks Hotel in Byrne Valley, KZN, for four unforgettable days and nights under the stars. This year we once again bring you two unique dancefloor experiences: The Psychedelic Floor - dedicated entirely to underground psychedelic bliss from start to finish, delivering deep journeys, hypnotic rhythms, and mind-expanding soundscapes. The Vaaibez Floor - a space of nonstop underground variety across the four days, featuring diverse genres, uplifting energy, and grooves for every moment of the festival experience. Beyond the music, Connexion offers spaces to reconnect with yourself and others. The Zen Zone will feature yoga sessions, massages, and opportunities to recharge mind, body, and spirit. For the creatives and curious souls, our interactive arts and crafts area invites expression, collaboration, and imagination throughout the weekend. Connexion is more than a festival - it is a shared experience, a family reunion, and a collective celebration of freedom, music, art, and togetherness as we step into a brand new year. We cannot wait to dance, connect, and welcome 2027 with all of you. With loads more artits to be added here are our musical geniuses thus far.
