THE TEMPLE — LAUNCH RITUALHard | Dark | Industrial Techno

The Temple is not a party. It is a sanctuary.

On Friday the 13th, February, we will gather to witness the first ritual of THE TEMPLE — an intimate, underground gathering dedicated to Hard, Dark & Industrial Techno.

This launch marks the beginning of a movement that will unfold across unique and unconventional venues throughout South Africa. But the first ceremony is intentionally small, private, and immersive — designed for those who understand the weight, power, and discipline of this sound.

Expect:Relentless Hard, Dark & Industrial TechnoA raw, intimate atmosphere Carefully invited DJs who serve the soundA space where music is ritual, not background noise

Venue: Sognage – Room 2Capacity: Strictly limited tickets onlyDress Code: Dark. Industrial. Ritual. Grunge. Black strongly encouraged.

LINE-UP & RITUAL FLOWThe night will unfold as a continuous ritual — no pauses, no breaks, only darker and harder progression.
