Johannesburg’s Favourite Outdoor Music Festival Returns This Spring
Music lovers can officially mark their calendars as Parklive Jozi 2026 returns to Johannesburg on Sunday, 30 August 2026, promising another unforgettable celebration of live music, food, culture and community.
Taking place at the iconic Marks Park in Emmarentia, the much-loved outdoor festival will once again transform one of Johannesburg’s most scenic venues into a vibrant gathering space filled with world-class performances, great food and the energetic atmosphere that has become synonymous with the Parklive experience.
As one of South Africa’s most anticipated lifestyle and music events, Parklive Jozi continues to attract thousands of festivalgoers each year, combining top-tier entertainment with the arrival of spring in Johannesburg.
TEEKS Confirmed as First Headline Artist
Leading the first artist announcement is acclaimed New Zealand singer-songwriter TEEKS, whose soulful voice and emotionally charged performances have earned him international recognition.
Known off-stage as Te Karehana Gardiner-Toi, the Māori artist first captivated audiences with his breakthrough EP The Grapefruit Skies before releasing a string of beloved tracks including If Only and Never Be Apart. His debut album, Something To Feel, topped charts and produced the double platinum-certified hit First Time, a song that resonated strongly with South African audiences.
Fans can expect an intimate yet powerful live performance when TEEKS takes to the Parklive stage this August, with additional artists set to be announced in the coming months.
A Full-Day Festival Experience
Beyond the music, Parklive Jozi offers a complete lifestyle experience. Festivalgoers can look forward to a curated selection of food vendors, bars, family-friendly entertainment and the relaxed outdoor atmosphere that has become a hallmark of the event.
Whether you’re attending for the music, the social scene or simply a day out in the Johannesburg sunshine, Parklive Jozi remains one of the city’s standout annual events.
