Ultra South Africa 2026: Africa's Premier Electronic Music Festival

The 11th edition of Ultra South Africa is set to ignite the continent once again in April 2026. As part of the prestigious global Ultra Music Festival family, this event continues its legacy of delivering world-class production, massive stage designs, and the most influential names in electronic music. In a historic shift for the 2026 circuit, the festival will debut in Johannesburg on Saturday, April 25th, before heading to Cape Town on Sunday, April 26th.

Attendees can expect a multi-sensory journey across diverse stages, including the legendary Main Stage featuring high-octane EDM and the RESISTANCE stage, which serves as a sanctuary for the deep, driving rhythms of Techno and House. While the 2026 lineup is highly anticipated, the festival has a storied history of hosting global titans such as Martin Garrix, Armin van Buuren, and Afrojack, ensuring that this year's roster will maintain its status as the biggest electronic music gathering in Africa.

• Johannesburg Venue: The expansive Expo Centre, Nasrec will be transformed into a high-tech dance mecca.
• Cape Town Venue: The scenic The Ostrich provides an open-air backdrop for the festival's closing leg.
• The Experience: Expect signature Ultra visuals, state-of-the-art pyrotechnics, and an electric atmosphere shared by thousands of "Ultranauts."

With the following Monday being a public holiday, fans are invited to immerse themselves in a full weekend of cutting-edge sound and unparalleled festival energy.
