COLD TURKEY
Cold Turkey Lock In
Cold Turkey MapCold Turkey has had a couples of very high, highs and very low, lows during their time of engagement. From the small beginnings in Darling street, to the massive success of Amadodas (which was ruined by crime and forced them to move to Green Point) and now at the Train Lodge. The owners have certainly not wanted to let a good thing down but have had to contend with the realities of hosting a party. While things have been quietening down, they’re back with a super sonic BANG as summer 2015 rolls into Cape Town.
Cold Turkey has a new roof top venue (my favourite) above the Grand Central Shopping Center (opposite the train station). It will be hosted on the top couple of floors of the parking lot, including the rooftop. If the wind proves to be too much the party will move inside. Expect 2 dancefloors, 22 acts and 12 hours of awesome beats including Hyphen, Maramza, White Nite, Ruffest, Blotchy +++
Cold Turkey allows BYOB under the following conditions:
  • One bottle per person whether that be hard tac or champagne thats up to you.
  • No beer or mixers to be brought in as they will be available at the bar.

Please note that you will not be able to enter and exit the venue at will. Once you’re in, you’re in. This is for the safety and security of all.

Where: Grand Central Shopping Center
Time: midday to midnight (12pm – 12am)
Cost: Early bird R97 (This Sunday only, link will be posted). Door R190
What: Food will be on sale.
Please take responsibility for your actions and respect each other to the fullest. No Under 18s. No Illegal Substances. Professional security and medics on site throughout event.
