X Fest 2026

X Fest 2026, the evolution of South Africa’s biggest dance & lifestyle experiences is here.

This year, we shift the energy & the scale as #XFestSA takes over 1 Fox, Johannesburg – a raw, industrial playground built for culture, creativity, and controlled chaos.

Expect a next-level festival experience featuring the best local and international talent across two stages, immersive production, curated lifestyle activations, and a crowd that defines the sound and spirit of now.

X Fest is more than just a festival : it’s a movement of youth, rhythm, fashion, and freedom, built to celebrate the culture that continues to shape South Africa and influence the world.

This is where the city meets the sound.

This is where memories are made.

X’se  this is a day  you don’t want to miss, 5FM’s very own Piano Plug Queen DJ Tshepi will be broadcasting live from the event, bringing you all the hype and vibes from 7pm – 10pm. Tune in!

This is X Fest 2026.
