The popular Toyota Innibos is back, and in 2026 they are celebrating ‘everything that’s in’. From music and theatre to books, art and stalls – if it’s #trending, they are celebrating it and you should be ‘in’ too.

According to a media release, the festival takes place from July 2–5 at Bergvlam High School in Mbombela and promises to surprise thousands of festivalgoers from across the country with a jam-packed programme and unforgettable experiences.

Star-studded line-up

Festivalgoers can look forward to an exciting main stage programme across all three evenings, featuring some of the country’s biggest names in the industry.

Die Heuwels Fantasties, Die Piesangskille, Elvis Blue, Karlien van Jaarsveld, Ricus Nel, Van Pletzen, Bobby van Jaarsveld, Fokofpolisiekar, Juanita du Plessis, Riaan Benadé, Spoegwolf, Zaan Sonnekus, Appel, Barto, BlackByrd, Brendan Peyper, Early B, Elandré, Eloff, Francois van Coke, Irene-Louise van Wyk, Juan Boucher and Riana Nel are among the artists who will be performing.

In addition to the main stage productions, festivalgoers can also look forward to four open stages entertaining from morning to night.

Other highlights include the Springbok rugby match on the Saturday before the evening performance, as well as Loof Hom Innibos on July 5, at Church Unlimited at R50 per person.

Stalls and experiences

According to BosMôl head Alison Linde, the exhibitors are of exceptional quality.

“The stall selection process was strict and we have secured the best of the best to exhibit at the festival. We’ve created balance by ensuring as much variety as possible in the offering. The food stalls have also been carefully curated to bring good, flavourful and ‘out-of-the-box’ festival cuisine.”

Expect a wide variety of stalls specifically catering to men, ensuring a great shopping experience for everyone.

Festival manager Andy Lubbe believes what they offer and what festivalgoers pay remains excellent value for money.

“Considering the number of world-class artists and entertainment presented annually on the festival grounds, the price is unmatched.”

Ticket prices and access

For only R775, you can purchase a full festival pass that guarantees endless entertainment. Daily ticket prices are R250 for Thursday, R325 for Friday and R385 for Saturday.

Primary school children aged 13 and under receive free entry to the festival grounds and senior citizens (65 years and older) enjoy a discounted price of R195 on Thursday only.

“We therefore invite all our senior citizens to come and enjoy the stalls and concerts on Thursday at this reduced rate. Normal prices apply for the remainder of the festival.”

Expanded Golden Circle

A major highlight for 2026 is the expanded Golden Circle experience.

“We have added more social tables than last year after being flooded with requests for a larger Golden Circle experience. It was extremely popular and sold out within minutes last year,” adds Lubbe.

For the young at heart, there will be a dedicated mosh pit right in front of the stage where they can sing and dance along with their favourite artists. Behind the mosh pit you will find the Golden Circle area with reserved seating at R160 for Thursday and Friday, and R210 for Saturday.

Festivalgoers can also book a social table for six at R1 210 for Thursday evening, R1 810 for Friday evening and R2 110 for Saturday evening. On-site parking tickets cost R260 per day and are extremely limited.
