The Routes of Sound music event returns to Stellenbosch

Playwright and visual artist Brett Bailey and Third World Bunfight will once again present The Routes of Sound at Spier Wine Farm in Stellenbosch from Friday, September 26 to Sunday, September 28.

This year’s line-up includes Jak Tomas, Giuliette Price, Luh’ra, Taleswapper, Ntokozo Zwane, and Odwa Bongo. 

In addition to the diverse performances, guests will also be able to enjoy award-winning wines from Spier as they meander between acoustic sets. 

For those drawn to storytelling through song, this promises an enriching night of lyrical exploration with some poetic voices in the line-up.

Groups of 30 will rotate along two paths that move through a selection of Spier’s most atmospheric spaces, ranging from the historic Manor House and the Old Wine Cellar to the Cowshed and other cosy lounges and nooks. 

The experience will culminate in a concert with The Herbie Tsoaeli Quintet featuring Herbie on bass and vocals and Buddy Wells on saxophone. 

Early dinner bookings at the recently opened Veld Restaurant, or at Vada Smokehouse & Bakery, are encouraged. Those wishing to stay over at the new Spier Hotel can contact reservations@spier.co.za.

The tickets cost R300 per person via Webtickets and include wine tastings. The Routes of Sound takes place at 7:30pm on Friday and at 3pm on Sunday. Comfortable footwear is recommended, and no under-18s are allowed.
