Last updated: Monday, 23 March 2026 

The pinnacle of international music festivals comes to Africa on 27-29 March 2026. The first-ever Montreux Jazz Festival Franschhoek will be an epic collaboration. Over three days, almost 40 artists will give genre-bending performances that span jazz, soul, amapiano, blues and pop, with a fusion of African influence in the lingering warmth of the late Cape summer. 

The programme includes everything from free family-friendly street performances along the Montreux Mile, packed with wine tastings, food trucks and bars spilling into the street, to legendary headliners like Matt Hansen, Robert Glasper with Lalah Hathaway and Bilal, Thandiswa Mazwai, Ezra Collective, Mandisi Dyantyis, and Róisín Murphy at The Arches main stage.

For the first time,
