ULTRA South Africa, the country’s premier electronic dance music festival, has officially launched tickets for the 2026 edition, with a historic first: Johannesburg will host the festival on the Saturday before Cape Town on the Sunday (with the Monday being a public holiday).

For its 11th year, ULTRA South Africa continues to raise the bar for live music experiences across the continent. The 2025 edition drew record crowds, and hosted unforgettable performances from global superstars, including Martin Garrix, Armin van Buuren, ISOxo, KSHMR, Mind Against, Massano, and Shmiza, among many others who delivered high-energy sets across the festival. 2026 promises even more elevated production, global stage design, and an electrifying festival experience, further cementing its status as Africa’s largest electronic music event.

Following last week’s pre-registration phase, tickets have officially gone on sale. Fans who pre-registered will have access to limited Tier 1 tickets at launch pricing, offering the most affordable entry into next year’s festival.
