Sowing The Seeds is a new collaborative initiative designed to spotlight the city’s most exciting event curators and cultural communities. From June to September 2025, a series of community-led events will unfold across Cape Town, culminating in a dedicated Sowing The Seeds stage at Rocking the Daisies 2025. This stage will be fully programmed by the curators shaping the project.

“Let’s build a festival experience that reflects the energy and creativity of Cape Town’s local scene.” – Jade Thiel, Entertainment Manager

Sowing The Seeds exists to amplify local voices and create space for curators to bring their own communities, ideas, and sounds into the heart of the festival.

Stay tuned as we reveal the full list of collaborators, event dates, and lineups rolling out from June 18th, 2025.
