Prepare for an exhilarating day of rich vibrant energy and mischievous behaviour as the world’s biggest colour festival launches in South Africa. Want to be a part of this epic journey of colour, music and dancing? Read on to see how you can win a double ticket for the HOLI ONE Colour Festival in Cape Town!
The original Holi Festival in India is a huge fun-filled celebration of music and dancing, uniquely characterized by throwing special coloured powder into the air (and at each other) to express freedom and the colour of everyday life. The festival concept has quickly gained popularity worldwide with colour festivals springing up in Berlin, Dresden, Munich, Hannover, the USA and Singapore. Now it’s South Africa’s turn to launch its own HOLI ONE Colour Festival, with the first event kicking off in Cape Town on 2 March and then in Johannesburg on 6 April.
Adding to the spectacle of colour and celebration is the impressive line-up of the top electronic dance music DJs on the scene today. Kicking off the festivities at 12:00 will be Sadhu Sensi, with his eclectic mix of ethnic sounds, followed by DJ Mighty bringing an energetic fusion of house and jazz to the festival.
Richard The Third will be taking festivalgoers on a rollercoaster ride of the best modern bass music as he initiates the first throwing of the powder into the open sky at 14:00. From there after, countdowns will be made for the throwing of the powder on the hour, every hour until 22:00, creating the visual experience of a lifetime with the beautiful backdrop of Table Mountain and the grand Cape Town City Hall.
By this time, festivalgoers will be covered in powder and enjoying the celebration of life, love and colour. Next up on the line-up will be world music maestro, Ma’orginal followed by Kid Fonque with his otherworldly rhythm and sounds. Mathias Schwarz, better known as Super Flu, from Germany will bring an international sound to the festival with some crispy bass beats and smoking hot performance. Toby2Shoes then hits the decks bringing his bouncy set to the HOLI ONE Colour Festival before the chart topping GoodLuck take to the stage to watch the sun go down and the floodlights light up. As night falls, SAMA nominees, Mix n Blend and the master of drum ‘n’ bass,

I would totally have a Holi One paint war with my Gran. The coolest, most radtastic, epic lady that ever lived. Totally mellowed out till the end of her days. She was all about living life to the fullest and generating good karma. Being zen and one with a higher power. Seeing people for who they are and not what they are, looking beyond the exterior and having an opinion but not judging. I’ve learnt so much from her and carry the lessons every single day.

I would LOVE to have a legendary paint war with Lady Gaga- not only will she rock the look as one of her outfits, BUT the down side of that would be too much paparazzi.. so id ditch the “famous” paint fight and just stick with my boyfriend who is my best friend and in my eyes DAMN legendary . we would totally have a complete paint war, and most properly laugh so hard that we would choke on paint :/ come on One Small Seed , who needs legends that we have never met-when we have legends who make us who we are <3

I would love to have a Holi paint war with my dearest friend Kim that i lost. i think it would be the perfect way to spend the last time together before she left. It would be closure and the greatest thing anyone would see because we would colour the town in rainbows. <3
