Touch Up Fest

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.

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 - 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.
