Flux Festival
The Flux Festival (not to be confused with the ''Flux'' festival which is part of the Edinburgh Festival's Fringe or indeed the (FLUX festival de vídeo d'autor ) of Barcelona) was a New Year music festival staged between 2001 and 2005 in Kwa-Zulu Natal Province, South Africa.
Essentially a youth market event, the Flux Festival was held in a picturesque area known as the Hidden Valley, some 230 km inland from the province's main city, Durban. In terms of the number of patrons attending the event it would be considered a small event, but by no means lean on talented performances. At its height the event attracted approximately 5 000 patrons hailing from all corners of South Africa.
== South Africa's first racially integrated music festival ==
The most remarkable aspect of the event (much commented on in media coverage of the time) was the mix of patrons. At a time when almost all other music events in South Africa, and especially those held in rural areas, were frequented by patrons of European origin, the Flux Festival attracted a multiracial crowd - a result of the events' eclectic line-up. An important factor which had contributed to the racial orientation of outdoor and rural music festivals up until this time was the perception amongst urban 'black' youth that rural areas represented the 'farm', as in the districts that their parents and grandparents came from, with all the negative connotations that forced removals and dispossession that some of these areas were associated with. Conversely, white youth had an opposite and favourable impression, linked in part to the precedence of 'white' music festivals in Europe and the U.S.(e.g. Woodstock, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, Reading et al.) which served as reference. With a new democratic dispensation and an easing of racial tension, the youth of South Africa began to outgrow their entrenched viewpoints, enabling outdoor events to begin attracting audiences of greater diversity.
