The legendary BOP (Brothers of Peace), Liquideep and Mdu lead the first wave of artists set to bring nostalgia and timeless hits to Oskido’s BIG DAY OUT in Johannesburg this November.
Some songs never age - they simply became the soundtrack to our lives. And this November, Oskido’s Big Day Out invites music lovers to relive those unforgettable moments as it unveils its Phase One Headliners celebrating the pioneers whose music defined generations of South African dance floors.
Leading the first announcement is Liquideep and Mdu, joined by producer / DJ duo outfit B.O.P ( Bruce ‘Dope’ Sebitlo and Oskido) - all iconic artists whose timeless hits helped shape South Africa’s music culture. From packed township street parties and iconic nightclubs to family braais, road trips and festival stages, their music has soundtracked countless memories and continues to unite audiences across generations.
Returning to Huddle Park, Linksfield in Johannesburg on Saturday, 28 November 2026, Oskido’s Big Day Out is once again set to celebrate the rich legacy and exciting future of South African music. Curated by one of the country’s most influential music pioneers, Oskido, the festival has become synonymous with bringing together legends, chart-toppers and rising stars for an unforgettable day of music, culture and connection.
This year’s edition promises to be the biggest yet, with two stages delivering an even broader musical experience, celebrating the sounds that have shaped the nation’s past while embracing the artists defining its future.
“Big Day Out has always been about celebrating the music that connects us all,” says Oskido. “These are artists whose songs became part of our lives. They gave us classics that still fill dance floors today, and it’s only fitting that we honour their contribution while bringing people together to create new memories as we do every year.”
Exact an emotional journey through decades of SA classics, from the soulful melodies of Liquideep, the unmistakable grooves of Brothers of Peace and the infectious energy of MDU, that made them all household names. Together, these pioneers represent an era that helped define South Africa’s dance music identity and inspired countless artists who followed.
And this is only the beginning.
More headliners, surprise performances, lifestyle experiences and exciting brand activations will be revealed in the coming weeks, building towards one of the country’s most anticipated music events of the year.
Whether you’re revisiting the songs that defined your youth or discovering these icons for the very first time, Oskido’s Big Day Out 2026 promises a day filled with nostalgia, celebration and unforgettable moments.
