Purified

Deep house queen Nora En Pure is bringing her “Purified” music festival to Joburg this weekend.

This follows sold-out editions of the event in cities like Miami, New York, San Francisco, Zürich, Prague and London.

Born Daniela Di Lillo in Johannesburg to a South African mother and Swiss father, Nora En Pure grew up in Switzerland but has long maintained a connection to her roots.

She broke through internationally in 2013 with “Come With Me”, a track that spent more than seven months on the Beatport Top 100 and introduced her to a global audience.

Since then, she has built a catalogue that includes favourites such as “Tribe of Kindness”, “Life on Hold”, “Monsoon” and “Delta”.

Where: James and Ethel Gray Park in Melrose.

When: Saturday, March 14, from 12pm.
