Thirst is a signature LocalsOnlyCPT experience — a day-to-night music event that celebrates sonic diversity, creative expression, and the thrill of discovering something new.

We bring together DJs from a wide range of genres, pairing established selectors with rising talent to create an evolving soundtrack that shifts with the energy of the day. From sunlit grooves to after-dark intensity, Thirst delivers a musical journey that keeps audiences engaged from the first beat to the last.

Hosted in non-traditional, culturally rich venues, Thirst transforms unique spaces into immersive social environments — blending music, lifestyle, people, and place into one seamless vibe. Each edition offers fresh collaborations, unexpected pairings, and a platform for creators to shine.

More than an event, Thirst is a celebration of community, curiosity, and the shared desire for something different — a space for those who crave new sounds, new experiences, and authentic Cape Town culture.

Come THIRSTy…
