WAV Festival Unveils Second Line-Up for Inaugural 2026 Show

 

Cape Town’s WAV Festival is gearing up for a stellar debut on 2 January 2026, and the anticipation only continues to rise with the announcement of a second wave of artists joining the already amazing line-up

The inaugural edition will now feature UK singer‑songwriter Sasha Keable, enigmatic talent Lia Butler, South African R&B and soul star Langa Mavuso, and soulful newcomer Xowie. Together, they expand the festival’s vision of celebrating R&B through platforming both established favourites and opening up audiences to new acts. The curation of this line-up has attendees and RnB fans alike anticipating the next act that WAV has teased.

A line-up as dynamic, yet grounded, such as this one, has positioned WAV as refreshing and one event that South Africans will wish to keep attending even after 2 January 2026.
