The MTN Bushfire Main Stage showcases the biggest international and African artists to a pulsating crowd of thousands. The Main Stage opens out onto sprawling lawns and pristine farmland with the breath-taking Mdzimba mountains rising in the background. Noted as the best music festival destination for a fantasy vacation by MTV Iggy/The Future of Music, this stage showcases an amazing balance of traditional and contemporary as well as collaborations from a broad range of countries and genres.

The House On Fire Amphitheatre is an awe-inspiring performance area with a distinctly unique flavour that lies at the heart of the festival. A sunken ‘Afro-Shakespearean Globe Theatre’ that houses a range of thought-provoking entertainment, including music, poetry, theatre and dance, this stage provides an enchanting setting for artists and audience.

The Bring Your Fire Zone Stage is an intimate acoustic stage that preserves the old Barn Stage’s aesthetic with pallet furniture and hay bales. A full programme of fun and interactive activities, including drumming sessions, crafting, and spoken word poetry are on offer as well as a touch of opera! Musicians, poets, and theatre are all showcased here.

The Ballantine’s Firefly Stage is an explosive and high-energy space to dance the weekend away. A melting pot of diverse talent, both local and international, showcase their skills and bring you the very best that Electronic, House, Hip Hop and Amapiano have to offer.
