Parklive Jozi is turning up the excitement for its highly anticipated 2026 return with the announcement of another major international act. Set to take place at Marks Park in Emmarentia on Sunday, 30 August 2026, the much-loved Johannesburg festival continues to build a standout line-up, adding UK indie-pop sensation Good Neighbours alongside previously announced soulful New Zealand artist TEEKS.
Good Neighbours, made up of singers, songwriters, producers and multi-instrumentalists Oli Fox and Scott Verrill, have rapidly emerged as one of the world’s biggest breakthrough indie-pop acts, blending infectious energy with heartfelt songwriting and euphoric live performances.
Their debut single “Home”, first released speculatively on TikTok in early 2024, became the most-streamed debut single globally that year, accumulating over 500 million streams and earning platinum certification in both the UK and US.
Drawing inspiration from the uplifting sounds of MGMT, Passion Pit and Bleachers, Good Neighbours have built a devoted global following through soaring anthems centred around optimism, connection, and finding comfort in the people around you. Their debut album, Blue Sky Mentality, written while touring between headline shows and support slots with Benson Boone and Foster The People, captures that spirit perfectly with expansive indie-pop songs designed to connect deeply with audiences.
Renowned for their energetic and inclusive live performances, the duo have sold out shows across the UK, US, Canada and Australia, delivering euphoric singalongs and feel-good moments everywhere they perform. Their appearance at Parklive Jozi marks an exciting South African debut for local fans eager to experience one of indie-pop’s fastest-rising international acts live.
Following the success of previous editions, Parklive Jozi promises to once again transform the iconic Johannesburg venue into a celebration of music, community, and springtime good vibes. Since its inception, the festival has become a staple on the South African entertainment calendar, attracting thousands of music lovers from across the country for an all-day experience unlike any other.
More artists for Parklive Jozi 2026 will be announced soon.
