One of the world’s most highly regarded clubbing brands returns to Joburg to open 2027 with a full fabric showcase.
The event takes over Carfax, one of Johannesburg’s historic cultural districts that has been a fixture of the city’s creative and underground music scene since 1995. The former industrial space has evolved into a multidisciplinary venue for music, art and creative culture, with its raw warehouse setting becoming synonymous with the city’s independent nightlife.
The show features an impressive international roster, including Daniel Avery, who makes his South African debut. A long-standing friend of fabric, Daniel Avery has played the club numerous times and delivered FABRICLIVE 66 in 2012 and is best known for his acclaimed Drone Logic album and work through Phantasy Sound.
Other acts include South Africa's own Desiree, who has since made her mark on London’s house and techno scene, with a genre-spanning approach to the dancefloor and her work through MMINO. One of the UK’s most distinctive contemporary electronic artists HAAi also takes the stage, as well as Midland, a long-standing fabric favourite who has played the club extensively and also makes his South African debut in January.
Following the response to its previous South African shows, this event continues fabric and Sub Sahara’s collaboration in bringing international electronic music talent together with South Africa’s thriving club and creative culture.
