The Experience

What Urbanova feels like.

One stage, many rooms. Here's the world every edition is designed around.

01 · The main stage

Headline sets. Full production. One crowd.

The heart of the festival: an open-air main stage built for headline moments, with the lights, sound and screens to match. Everything else on the grounds orbits around it.

02 · The sound

Afrobeats to Amapiano, Hip-Hop to Dancehall.

Urbanova's soundtrack is the city's: Afrobeats, Hip-Hop, Dancehall, Amapiano, Latin urban and the global rhythms that connect them. Global names share the bill with the region's DJs, MCs and rising acts.

Afrobeats · Hip-Hop · Dancehall · Amapiano · Latin Urban · Global Rhythms

03 · The marketplace

Street eats, merch and the makers behind them.

A curated marketplace of food vendors, merch and specialty goods from the culture's own creators. The block party inside the festival.

04 · Activations & creator zones

Moments worth stopping for.

Interactive brand activations, giveaways, photo moments and content sets designed for the feed. Creators are part of the programme, not an afterthought.

05 · Elevated access

Front of stage. Lounges. Premium bars.

For those who want more: raised viewing at the rail, lounge access and premium licensed bars (19+). The details are set edition by edition.

06 · Community

All ages. Accessible by design. Made together.

Urbanova is built as an all-ages festival with accessibility planned in from the start, staffed by a volunteer crew and shaped with the creators, vendors and partners who make the culture what it is.
