Parklive Jozi expands 2026 line-up with star-studded line-up

The latest additions are South African artists Nasty C, Elaine, Matthew Mole, Will Linley and Rowlene, alongside Canadian pop-rock duo Neon Dreams.

The announcement follows an earlier confirmation that UK indie-pop duo Good Neighbours and New Zealand singer-songwriter TEEKS will also perform at the event.

The festival will feature a mix of local and international acts spanning hip hop, R&B, pop, indie and rock.

Nasty C, one of South Africa's most internationally recognised hip hop artists, joins the line-up following a career that has included global tours and collaborations with international musicians. R&B singer Elaine, whose music has achieved commercial success in South Africa and abroad, is also set to perform.

Singer-songwriter Matthew Mole returns to the festival circuit with his catalogue of indie-pop releases, while Will Linley and Rowlene will add contemporary pop and R&B performances to the programme.

Canadian duo Neon Dreams complete the latest artist announcement. The pair have built an international following through a blend of pop, rock and electronic music and have previously performed for South African audiences.

Parklive Jozi has become a regular fixture on Johannesburg's live music calendar, attracting audiences with a programme of local and international artists.

Organisers said additional performers will be announced ahead of the festival.

Tickets for the event are currently available through Howler.
