A festival across two cities

Ultra South Africa is not one site stretched over a weekend. It is a paired electronic festival presented in Cape Town and Johannesburg, with each city receiving its own day and crowd. The Ultra format brings headline-scale production and a direct dance-music focus, while the two-stop structure gives the South African edition its particular rhythm.

The 2027 return

The announced 2027 dates place Cape Town on April 30 and Johannesburg on May 1. Reading the event as a two-city run matters: travel, venue context and local energy change from one day to the next, even while the production identity remains connected. It is Ultra's global model adapted to a national weekend rather than a single destination.
