Spring is about to arrive with a bang as Spring Fiesta returns this October, bringing together some of the biggest names in dance music and hip hop for another unforgettable celebration of music, culture and connection.
Set to take place on Saturday, 3 October 2026, at the Wild Waters Complex in Boksburg, the festival continues its legacy as one of South Africa’s longest-running and most celebrated lifestyle events. For more than 15 years, Spring Fiesta has evolved beyond being simply a music festival—it has become an annual gathering where thousands of fans reunite to celebrate the sounds that have defined generations of dance floors.
With the first three stages officially announced, organisers are promising one of the biggest editions yet, while teasing that even more artist and stage announcements are still to come.

House music lovers can once again look forward to the return of two of the festival’s most respected brands—Stay True Sounds and Soul Candi Live.
The Stay True Sounds stage continues its tradition of showcasing authentic house music by welcoming legendary British producer Atjazz (UK) for a special back-to-back performance with South African deep house pioneer Jullian Gomes. Their collaboration is expected to be one of the festival’s standout moments.

The festival’s Hip Hop Floor also returns with an impressive lineup celebrating the very best of South African hip hop.

More announcements still to come
While the first three stages have already generated excitement, Spring Fiesta has confirmed that additional stages, artists and festival experiences will be revealed in the coming weeks.
According to Zane Gulston, Head of Talent, the festival remains committed to creating meaningful experiences through music.
“Spring Fiesta has always been about creating moments that bring people together through music. Every year we challenge ourselves to curate experiences that celebrate the incredible depth of SA’s dance music culture while introducing audiences to some of the world’s finest artists. 2026 is all about quality, connection and unforgettable moments on the dancefloor.”
