Commitment to excellence

Thobela emphasised the unwavering commitment to delivering a top-notch event experience. “Every aspect of our event is held to the highest standards,” he said. “We've faced unforeseen challenges with some of our crucial sponsors and service providers. These partners are essential to the success of our event, and their inability to fulfill their commitments would have a significant impact on the overall experience for our attendees.”

New date to be announced

Regarding the event's rescheduling, Thobela added, "Deluxe Fest ’23 will be postponed and will no longer take place on Sunday 8 October. We are actively working to determine a new date, which we will announce soon. We want to emphasise that all ticket holders will still have access to the event and its associated benefits."
