WAV Festival 2026

WAV Festival is a future-forward celebration of R&B, soul, and sonic innovation — reimagined through an African lens. More than just a festival, WAV is a cultural convergence where music, digital culture, fashion, and design collide. It is a space where the future of sound meets the beauty and vibrancy of one of the world’s most iconic cities — Cape Town. 🇿🇦

Bringing together international and local artists on one stage, WAV Festival is shaping the next era of R&B and culture. The event officially kicks off on 2 January 2026.

Set against Cape Town’s Atlantic horizon and framed by the majesty of Table Mountain, WAV Festival offers a global celebration of what’s next in R&B and soul while honouring the genre’s roots.

The festival creates an immersive world where mountains, open skies, coastal views, and green spaces merge with the city’s dynamic energy. At every turn, the setting comes alive as music, fashion, design, and digital culture intertwine to create an unforgettable experience.

As international and local talent share the stage, WAV Festival 2026 promises to ignite a new chapter in sound, artistry, and cultural expression.
