Afterpaartie: Papier Family Band

With Papier Family Band

The Papier Family Band brings generations of musical storytelling together in a warm, soulful celebration of family, heritage and the timeless spirit of South African music.

Every festival day has that moment when the last stage light fades and the crowd heads home — but you, you’re nowhere near ready for bed. We’ve got you: you don’t have to wander aimlessly through quiet streets or spend hours searching for that elusive late-night venue. Woordfees 2026 has the perfect hangout for the night owls. Join us from Monday to Saturday at 22:00 for the Afterpaartie – a late-night event where the music keeps playing long after the formal programme has ended.
