The festival returns to Kilifi for two days of pure bliss, celebrating African house music in a unique location, on the North Coast of Kenya on the 24th-25th August 2024

As part of their mission to develop a year-round sustainable events industry in Kilifi, Beneath The Baobabs introduced JOURNEY TO THE BAOBABS to  their roster in August 2023 for its first ever edition. The exclusive 2 day  event celebrates African House Music in the coastal bush, and the team see this  as the beginning of their road towards the epic Beneath The Baobabs Festival, which takes place over New Year. 

Tickets for this years edition launched on 12th July and Die Hards sold out in  48 hrs! Clearly the hype is real for this event built with their hardcore fans in  mind, and in response to the call to do more events outside of the busy New Year period.

August proved to be a great month for the event as Kilifi has  much accommodation available, the weather is more forgiving and Kilifi is  full of greenery after the rains. Get your limited advanced and VIP tickets here.

VIP Tickets are very limited but are on sale offering table & bottle service by  The Twisted Fig Team, VIP Parking as well as the best seat in the house, right  behind the DJs. 

So what can you expect from this 2 day event set in the heart of Beneath The  Baobabs Venue? Both days will be hosted on the Twisted Fig Stage: A beautiful pagoda stage, facing a 1000 year old baobab tree, surrounded by a deck  overhanging the Takaungu Valley.
The venue alone creates a sense of wonder  and magic, allowing for dancers to really lose themselves in the music, with  no metal barriers, concrete or tarmac in site. 

As always the team have curated a cutting edge line up, showcasing OGs and  rising stars alike, comprising of DJs from the coast of Kenya and Nairobi,  and headliners from South Africa on each day of the show. Saturday 24th August will be headlined by 3-Step DJ / Producer SUFFO CATE SA, for his debut set in Kenya and first time outside of South Africa. He will be on stage with local heroes championing some heavy weight sounds including GHEDI B2B HIRIBAE, BIG NYAGZ, AVOCADO.THEDJ, SHANGATATU & ZIPPIE NYUMU. 

Sunday 25th August will be headlined by the much loved SUN-EL MUSICIAN from South Africa, who will be playing 1.5hrs of only the best Afro- House. He will be  joined on stage by Coastal and Nairobi based DJs SOULFUD, DJ MISS  RAY, KNVL, VIDZA & LEMI, all offering their unique take on African  House Music.
