ULTRA South Africa, the country’s leading electronic dance music festival, has officially launched ticket sales for its 2026 edition – and this year brings a major first…
Johannesburg will host the festival on Saturday, 25 April 2026 at the Expo Centre at Nasrec, while Cape Town’s event will follow on Sunday, 26 April 2026 at The Ostrich. The timing couldn’t be better, with the Monday being a public holiday.

For 2026, fans can expect even more ambitious production, state-of-the-art stage design, and an electrifying lineup that reaffirms ULTRA South Africa’s status as Africa’s biggest electronic music event.
