New Year's Eve Afropunk in South Africa

I had to dedicate a seperate post to Afropunk.

Why you ask? Because I had way too much content NOT to share and this Coronavirus is making me write more… 🧐

To bring in 2020, we partied hard at Constitution Hill for Afropunk, New Year’s Eve weekend. Constitution Hill used to be a former prison and military fort in South Africa, but now Afropunk uses the space for their festival each year. The music, the outfits, and the vibes were very different compared to the one in Brooklyn. In my opinion, I love going to the Brooklyn festival every year, but attending this festival in another country was more eventful. South Africa has a wide range of diversity due to many different melonated shades and ethnicities.

I advise you to get VIP tickets for this event because you will NOT want to be in general admission. Supposedly, it rains every year for this event and general admission doesn’t have a covering. On the other hand, the VIP section does. Our VIP included bathrooms, a bar, hookah stations, and light bites. We were able to reserve our VIP tickets in advance. Are purchasing VIP tickets cheap when you do the conversion? Yes, everything in South Africa is a lot cheaper when you do the conversion. Hint: Do the math or download a conversion app. Totally worth it! Our group had such a good time partying for the 2-day event. We saw Miguel, NAO, Solange, Busiswa, Goldlink, and many more. Shoutout to everyone at Afropunk that held us down.

Again, shoutout to AwayToAfrica for planning this entire trip to Africa for us. Tell them that I sent you! 😉

P.S.- Don’t forget to watch my video recap of the festival below!
