ABOUT
Your Touch Up Fest 2026
For over 150 Wednesdays, we’ve gathered to celebrate South African Alternative Music, welcoming over 300 artists, building community, and creating a space for artists and listeners to connect.
Now, it’s time to make the room bigger.
Touch Up Fest is a two-day celebration of alternative music, culture and community happening this November in Johannesburg.
6 November - Let’s Touch Base: a full day of conversations exploring creativity, music and the people shaping South Africa’s cultural landscape.
7 November - Your Touch Up Fest: a full-day festival featuring live music, new discoveries and performances from some of the incredible artists who make this community special.
Line-up and more details coming soon.
I love South African Alternative Music, especially when it’s on a Wednesday. This November, we’re making an exception.
