The story

The Secrets of Summer New Year Eve Festival takes place on December 31, 2026, at Black River Park in Johannesburg, South Africa. This festival is designed for a nine-hour celebration, featuring more than 40 artists and a multi-stage performance that emphasizes an ambitious audiovisual experience. The event includes three dance floors, a large-scale 6D production, and additional attractions such as fireworks and food vendors.

Secrets of Summer New Year Eve Festival is a 2-day psytrance, techno, house, deep progressive festival at TBA in Johannesburg, South Africa. The December 2026 edition runs 31 Dec – 1 Jan 2027.

Expect stages split between Psytrance, Techno, House and Deep Progressive.

Everything happens at TBA, in Johannesburg. Johannesburg · 0 km · about 0 min is the organiser's practical nearby base for accommodation and transfers to the festival site.

Secrets of Summer New Year Eve Festival keeps the same calendar slot each year: December 2026 for this edition, opening on a Thursday and closing on a Friday. It is a winter date, so indoor stages and a warm place to sleep matter more than they would in July — and off-season travel is often cheaper. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in Johannesburg are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.

• Three dance floors
• More than 40 artists
• 6D audiovisual production
• Fireworks at midnight
• General, VIP, VVIP, and Backstage areas
• Ample parking and Uber drop-off point

Planning the trip, step by step

1. 1Book the ticket first: tiers at Secrets of Summer New Year Eve Festival are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
2. 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
3. 3Reserve 3 nights rather than 2: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
4. 4Follow Secrets of Summer New Year Eve Festival on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.
