28DEC
Will Linley
The session the teenagers in the family will be asking about. Big, bright pop songs played outdoors to a lawn that already knows the choruses — and the one afternoon of the summer where the front of the crowd is all under twenty-five.

The artist
Will Linley
Pop · Cape Town
Will Linley grew up singing with his mother and three brothers in Cape Town, trained classically through high school, and was writing his own songs by sixteen. He was studying International Business at Stellenbosch when the 2020 lockdown arrived; he set himself the challenge of a song a day, started posting fragments to TikTok, and never went back to the degree.
"miss me (when you’re gone)" went to number one on South African radio and platinum in 2021. Deals with BMG and Island followed, then the EP kill all my feelings, "Last Call" past 19 million streams, and his debut album Don’t Cry Because It’s Over in 2025. He has headlined sold-out South African tours, played the main stage at Rocking the Daisies, toured Europe alongside Matthew Mole, and opened for OneRepublic here at home.
He shared the 28 December bill with Jesse Clegg in 2025. In 2026 the date is his. Upbeat melodies, honest lyrics about being young — and the one afternoon of the summer where the front of the crowd is all under twenty-five.
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.
