Parklive Jozi is ramping things up for its highly anticipated 2026 return with the announcement of another major international act.
UK indie-pop sensation Good Neighbours will take to the stage at the iconic Marks Park in Emmarentia on Sunday, 30 August 2026, alongside the 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. The duo blends infectious energy with heartfelt songwriting and euphoric live performances.
Their debut single Home became the most-streamed debut single globally in 2024, 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 community. 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.
The duo are known for their energetic and inclusive live sets, and they’ve sold out shows across the UK, US, Canada, and Australia. Their upcoming appearance at Parklive Jozi marks an exciting South African debut for local fans who will finally get to experience one of indie-pop’s fastest-rising international acts live.
Following the success of previous editions and the lineup reveals so far, it's clear that Parklive Jozi will once again transform Marks Park 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 unparalleled all-day experience.
More artists for the 2026 line-up will be announced soon.
