Muse to Headline Mega South African Rock Show

Big Concerts has confirmed the return of Calabash South Africa for 2026, featuring a monumental rock line-up across two stadium dates in February.

Multi-Grammy Award-winning British trio Muse will headline the concert, bringing their renowned visual and musical spectacle to the event.

The festival promises a powerful roster of global talent, including A Day To Remember, punk-pop favourites Simple Plan, and alt-rock group Nothing But Thieves. South African rock mainstays Prime Circle are also featured at both shows.

The events are scheduled for FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, Gauteng, on 7 February and DHL Stadium in Cape Town, Western Cape, on 11 February. Local acts will be split, with Van Pletzen joining the Johannesburg show and Die Heuwels Fantasties opening in Cape Town.

Presale access for Mastercard holders is already underway, with general tickets going on sale this Saturday, 13 December, via Ticketmaster. T

The line-up is set to make the festival a leading live music event of the summer in South Africa.
