The SPAR Kirkwood Wildsfees has officially revealed its 2026 main stage artist lineup, promising what organisers are calling the “Dikste Baljaar” yet for festival-goers across the Eastern Cape.
Taking place from 26 to 28 June 2026 at Sentraal-Suid Koöperasie (SSK Agriland) in Kirkwood, formerly known as The Co-Op, the annual festival once again combines agriculture, food, exhibitions, tourism and family entertainment with a packed live music programme.
A Star-Studded Weekend Of Music
This year’s main stage lineup features a mix of some of South Africa’s best-known performers, crowd favourites, and exciting collaborations spread across all three festival days.
Friday’s programme kicks off with performances by Jak de Priester, Liezel Pieters, Gerhard Steyn and Juan Boucher. Audiences can also expect a special surprise collaboration featuring Emo Adams, alongside additional surprise appearances throughout the evening before the party continues with performances by Early B and Biggy.
Saturday’s lineup keeps the energy going with Prop, Brendan Peyper, Dirk van der Westhuizen, Lianie May, Appel and Loufi taking to the stage. The day will also feature performances by Dr Victor, Jennifer Zamudio and Nicholis Louw.
Sunday shifts into a more relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere with performances by Nadine, a Boere Orkes, Ruhan du Toit, Ray Dylan, Bobby van Jaarsveld and Tamlyn Wessels closing out the weekend festivities.
Ticket Prices Remain Unchanged
In a move likely to be welcomed by festival-goers, ticket prices for the 2026 edition remain unchanged.
