We only use your details to assess your booking inquiry.

Find the venue

In the heart of Cape Town's live music district

Rockanova sits between the city bowl and the waterfront, a short walk from the main bus routes and with secure parking across the street. The entrance is marked by a red door and a stack of old amp cabinets — you can't miss it.

Venue address

875 Isaacs Springs

Bulelwaburgh, MP 8981

The venue is on the corner of the main strip, directly opposite the old textile mill. Look for the painted mural of a red guitar on the side wall.

By train

Cape Town station is a 15-minute walk. From platform 4, head east along the pedestrian bridge and follow the music venue signs.

By car

Secure parking is available at the municipal lot on Isaacs Springs, 50 metres from the entrance. Rates apply after 6pm on gig nights.

Gig night access

Doors open 30 minutes before the first act. If you're a touring band or a local promoter looking to book a slot, get in touch with our booking desk directly.
