Our audition process largely takes place during the open mic sessions at each event. Preference is given to those that join the gathering and show their support. We are building a community and this is a platform for the lesser known 'camp fire' artist to share their music through world class sound and stage while still maintaining the highest standard of musicianship. If you think you got what it takes then drop us an email with links to your music and we'll take it from there.

Louvain is situated on the foothills of the Outeniqua Mountains and is susceptible to sudden wind conditions. We aim to Burn during sunset every evening weather depending. In an effort to ensure safety for our guests and the surrounding vegetation, Louvain management will always make the final decision when to Burn. Sunday evening burns have not been uncommon so plan to stay if you would like to catch a burn.

No, unless the event organisers cancel the event due to weather or an acceptable reason is emailed to us for why you would like a refund.
