<div class="column">
 Since 2006, Lief festival has provided a popular
celebration of electronic dance music and culture in
Utrecht, The Netherlands.

This international outdoor lifestyle and music event
delivers an array of memorable experiences, year after
year, to thousands of satisfied attendees in Holland.
Presenting a fun and exciting concept, complete with
a sound production and unique show of leading
electronic dance music and audio-visual artistry, this
quality event is set to wow audiences in South Africa.
Lief festival combines a strong focus on quality
entertainment and production standards with a fresh
and original concept that is brand new in Africa. With a
fine selection of international and local artists hosted
on a hi-tech stage, Lief presents an exciting new
prospect for South Africa.

So get ready for a roaring celebration on 29 March
2014, at the beautiful Boschendal Wine Estate. 
 
The Lief Experience 
Holland’s most loved electronic music festival will visit South Africa at the end of Summer 2014. The festival produces a quality production of leading Techno and House music, but most of all the festival carries out the philosophy of love and respect for each other, through a kaleidoscope of colourful experiences. 
Lief festival is celebrated in Holland for its high quality and innovative presentation that combines unique experiences in music, art and decor. 
 
And now, to spread the big love of Lief outside Europe, the festival will visit South Africa and take place in one of the most beautiful locations on the southern tip of Africa. 
Collaboration is Key 
With the movement of Lief to South Africa in 2014, the producers of this world-class festival aim to build a bridge of collaboration between South Africa and Holland, where international and local artists, producers and punters alike can all share in the benefit of this valuable exchange of culture and talent. 
 
Theme 
As a creative lifestyle event, Lief carries a friendly message of diversity and respect through the delivery of its original concept and theme. This features an artistic and well-designed characterisation of African animals, which creates the overall theme and atmosphere of the event. Based on a successful delivery of this theme in Holland on 7 September 2013, Lief provides a playful narrative for everyone to get involved in and enjoy the event as an expression of creativity. This aspect also distinguishes the original style of Lief from other electronic music events, and can be be likened to a festive, carnival style show that celebrates life and music.   
 
The Music 
Innovation is the name of the game as Lief brings together the finest leading and emerging sounds of the Dutch and South African electronic music industry. With a focus on Techno and House, and their myriad offshoots such as Deep-House and Tech-House, Lief invites artists from Holland and South Africa to blow the crowd away with scintillating performances, filled with sonic precision and uplifting electronic dance music. Be prepared for a unique line-up of mainstream and underground DJs, to be announced late 2013 and early 2014. A first for South Africa and the world! 
 
Beyond the Music 
Lief offers a wide variety of experiences, incorporating many fun, creative contributions and presentations, such as: flamboyant decor, comfortable relaxation areas, playful activations, original festival art and original performances. 
The festival also brings together the best lifestyle offerings within the following focus areas:
