Ram Fest is more than a performer—it's a cornerstone of South Africa's alternative music scene. Founded in 2007 by Dawid Fourie as RAMFest (Real Alternative Music Festival), the project grew from a festival concept into a powerful brand that champions metal, rock, punk, hardcore, drum and bass, and electronic music. Over the years,RAM Fest has become one of SA's largest alternative and rock festivals, with storied runs in Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg, and Port Elizabeth. After a hiatus and cancellations in 2015 and 2016, the revival arrived in 2023 with editions in Cape Town (CPT) and Pretoria (PTA). The 2025 RAMFest Halloween edition promises to bring the energy back to life in Cape Town (Oct 31–Nov 1) and Pretoria (Nov 1). We’ve got you covered for tickets, schedules, and insider tips to secure your seats for this landmark event.
