Get ready for a musical extravaganza! The highly anticipated Calabash Festival is back, and this time, it's bringing an epic lineup to South Africa. Mark your calendars, music enthusiasts, because this is one festival you won't want to miss!
The 2026 edition of Calabash Festival has just dropped its lineup, and it's a rock-filled extravaganza. Internationally renowned acts like Muse, A Day To Remember, and Simple Plan will be gracing the stages of Johannesburg and Cape Town. But here's where it gets controversial... local acts like Prime Circle and Van Pletzen will also be joining the lineup, adding a unique South African flavor to the festival.
"SA, get ready to ROCK!" Calabash Festival exclaimed on social media, and we couldn't agree more. The festival will take place on two dates: February 7th in Johannesburg at the FNB Stadium and February 11th in Cape Town at the DHL Stadium.
Tickets are already on sale, with presales for Mastercard and the Big Concerts Fan Club already live. The general sale will begin on December 13th, so act fast if you want to secure your spot at this epic event.
This year's festival saw legendary acts like Green Day and The Offspring, along with the iconic Robbie Williams, take the stage for a memorable two-day event. Now, Calabash is raising the bar even higher with its 2026 lineup.
And this is the part most people miss: Calabash Festival isn't just about the headliners. It's an immersive experience, bringing together music lovers from all walks of life. With a diverse range of acts, from international rock stars to local talents, Calabash promises an unforgettable journey through sound and community.
