Summer in the Mother City calls for live music by the sea, and Cape Open Air is bringing just that back to Muizenberg Park on Saturday, 12 December 2026.
Spearheaded by celebrated South African musician Jeremy Loops, the festival returns for another edition of homegrown talent, coastal charm and the unmistakable spirit of Cape Town’s Deep South.
For Loops, who calls Muizenberg home, the festival has become something of an annual homecoming — an opportunity to bring his music back to the community and coastline that have been such an important part of his story.
Set against the beautiful backdrop of Muizenberg Park, Cape Open Air offers a distinctly Cape Town experience: part outdoor concert, part summer gathering and part celebration of the country’s exceptional musical talent. With the ocean nearby, picnic blankets on the grass and some of South Africa’s finest musicians on stage, it’s a day designed to bring friends, families and music lovers together.
“Cape Open Air has turned into this little gem of the Deep South. Every year it grows a little more, but it’s still got that local heart. There’s nothing quite like getting to play a big show in Muizenberg, just above the ocean, surrounded by friends, family and familiar faces. It’s my home turf, and honestly one of my favourite shows of the year,” says Jeremy Loops.
Come celebrate summer, music, and community at the Cape Open Air 2026!
