Wednesday
Spoegwolf
with Deon Meiring
A public holiday, a lawn that knows every word, and nowhere to be in the morning.
Gates 15:00 · Main act 18:00
Tickets soon
30DEC
Jesse Clegg with Ross Learmonth
The last afternoon of the season, and two voices on one stage to close it. Both played the 2025 season on separate nights; this time they share the stage. The final session always goes first — partly because it is the last one, and partly because everybody who came in December wants one more before they drive home.

The artist
Jesse Clegg with Ross Learmonth
Closing the season
Jesse Clegg spent the first six years of his life on tour with his father, growing up backstage and on tour buses. He learned guitar at fifteen without telling anyone and waited until he was eighteen to play Johnny his own songs. Four releases since — When I Wake Up, Life on Mars with Grammy-winning producer David Bottrill, Things Unseen, and the Entropy EP with Msaki — along with five SAMA nominations, the Isle of Wight Festival, SXSW, Radio City Music Hall for the Mandela 46664 concert, and main support for Imagine Dragons on their 2023 South African stadium tour.
Ross Learmonth co-founded Prime Circle in Johannesburg in 2002 and fronted them for twenty-three years — seven albums, most of them gold or platinum, and more than thirteen top-ten hits including "She Always Gets What She Wants" and "Breathing". He went solo in January 2024 and released Carousel: rawer, quieter, built on acoustic guitar and piano.
Both played the 2025 season on separate nights — Clegg on the 28th, Learmonth on the 30th with Dreaming Out Loud. In 2026 they share one stage to close the summer, finishing while there is still light in the sky. The last session always goes first.
How theafternoon runs.
15:00
Gates open
Arrive. Find your spot on the lawn. Something to eat, something cold, no hurry.
17:00
Opening act
Two hours in, the afternoon finds its rhythm. Shadows get longer. So do the conversations.
18:00
Main act
The sun drops. The music rises. This is the hour people come back for.
Before dark
Home
The last song lands while there is still light in the sky. Drive home in it.
Before you come
- Gates open at 15:00 and the first act plays at 17:00. Those two hours are not dead time — they are the part people forget to plan for and then remember afterwards. Arrive early, eat something, pick your spot.
- It varies by act. Albert Frost and Dan Patlansky on 20 December is R300 for adults and R200 for children aged 5 to 16. Under-fives come in free at every session. Prices for the rest of the season are published as each one goes on sale.
- The ticketing partner changes with the show — Spoegwolf on 16 December is on iTickets, Watershed on 21 December is on Quicket. Every session page links straight to the right one, so start there rather than searching.
- Yes — bring a blanket or a fold-out chair, that is exactly how the lawn works. Food and drink are the exception: no outside food or beverages come through the gate. Local vendors and two fully serviced bars are on site, and they are genuinely good.
- Yes. Sessions run in daylight on open lawn, and families make up a large part of the crowd. Children under five come in free.
- Yes — group tickets are available. Message the estate on WhatsApp and they will sort it out with you directly.
