Kilifi New Year is a radically creative two to three day explosion of music, arts and tropical coast culture set in the magical Kenyan coastal town of Kilifi. Incredible performers from around Africa and the world will come together to put on a unique, technicolour show as we celebrate the intersection between African and World electronic music. You can expect an unforgettable few days packed with the most exhilarating vibes the continent has to offer. Kilifi’s white sand beaches, turquoise reef, emerald creek, and pristine old grown forests have attracted a fast growing community of ethically minded people from artists to eco-builders, ethical fashion designers to dreamers, poets and travellers – all in a peaceful partnership with a lovely local community. Every New Year, we transform this beautiful location into the venue for the most pristine, wild and intimate New Year party in the region. The line-up is shaping up to be truly incredible so watch this space for upcoming artist announcements! We’re biting our lips to hold back from already sharing the big headliners… With music from over four continents, including Africa of-course, we've managed to keep audiences jamming and feeling good for days into the New Year. This year the location is changing… We’re moving to the proper wild and magical playground which you deserve! Expect lots of space, huge trees, a thousand year old Babobab and a real village-festival kind of vibe – we can’t wait to show you… We’ll be right by the center of town, but you’ll feel like you’re on a different planet… Karibuni! ================================================ VOLUNTEERS, ARTISTS, BUILDERS, STALL HOLDERS, MEDIA, FILM AND PHOTOGRAPHERS: WE WANT YOU!
