Oskido’s Big Day Out is turning up the volume ahead of its third edition this November, announcing additional headliners to an impressive 2026 lineup alongside the formality of their partnership with FNB.
DJ Tira and DJ Sox, aka Durban’s Finest, together with DJ Cndo, have joined the 2026 lineup.
Reinforcing Big Day Out’s commitment to showcasing the diversity of local music, this year’s festival will also celebrate Durban’s rich dance-music legacy and its defining influence on Mzansi’s music culture over the past three decades. From the influential Kwaito era to the sounds that continue to move audiences today, Durban has played a significant role in shaping the country’s dance-music landscape and has produced music that has resonated with and influenced generations.
This year’s edition of Oskido’s Big Day Out will pay homage to this important chapter in South African music history, bringing together established pioneers, influential DJs and artists whose sounds continue to transcend generations. These Durban musical legends will add even greater energy, musical diversity and dancefloor appeal to the festival’s two-stage experience, creating a celebration of the sounds, artists and cultural moments that have helped shape Mzansi’s musical identity.
Taking place on Saturday, 28 November 2026 at Huddle Park in Linksfield, Oskido’s Big Day Out will again bring together generations of music lovers for a full day celebrating the sounds, artists and cultural moments that have shaped SA music. This year’s Big Day Out is particularly special. Not only will we be celebrating Oskido’s birthday, but also a significant milestone in his illustrious career with the Order of Ikhamanga, awarded to him by the presidency earlier this year in recognition of his outstanding contribution to South African music and culture.
Adding another significant dimension to this year’s festival, one of South Africa’s most reputable financial institutions, FNB, comes on board as an official partner of Oskido’s Big Day Out. The partnership brings together two brands with a shared focus on connection, experiences and enabling South Africans to do more with the moments that matter. With a longstanding commitment to supporting arts and culture, FNB continues to look beyond traditional banking by creating meaningful connections in the lifestyle spaces where its customers connect, express themselves and create memorable experiences.
“Music has a unique ability to bring people together and create lasting memories. Oskido’s Big Day Out celebrates artists whose influence and success have endured for decades, reflecting the importance of longevity, relevance and the lasting impact of strong foundations, values that closely align with FNB’s commitment to helping customers build and preserve their own legacies. These same principles underpin our approach at FNB, where we believe trusted advice and long-term partnerships play a critical role in helping customers achieve their financial goals. This partnership allows us to connect with South Africans through authentic, culturally relevant experiences while helping them get more out of life and create meaningful moments with the people who matter most,” said Philani Potwana, CEO of FNB Private Core Banking and Credit Card.
For Oskido, the partnership represents an exciting new chapter for a festival that continues to grow while remaining rooted in the music and culture that inspired it. “Big Day Out has always been about bringing people together through music,” says Oskido. “This year we are taking that experience even further. We have incredible artists from different eras, two stages and now a partnership with FNB that allows us to create even more opportunities for people to connect, celebrate and make memories together.”
And there is still more to come in the final phase of talent to be announced soon. So whether you are coming for the classics, the contemporary sounds, the energy of the dancefloor or simply to spend a day with friends and family, Oskido’s Big Day Out 2026 promises twice the music, twice the energy and a full day of unforgettable experiences.
