Maskandi Fest Kroonstad Takes Over Kroonpark Holiday Resort

Maskandi Fest Kroonstad runs on Sunday, November 1, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM at Kroonpark Holiday Resort (Caravan Park) on Border St in Central Kroonstad. It’s the Free State stop of Maskandi Fest: The Heritage Tour, the nationwide series staged by Doek on Fleek Lifestyle Events, and this leg carries the theme “In My Somatekisi Era.”

Six acts are confirmed for the day: Shenge Wasehlalankosi, Ntencane, Litshepe LR, Jikijiki, Trixie and Umntu Omnyama. Tickets are live on Computicket BoxOffice, where the R150 early birds have already sold out and general access now sits at R300.

The Kroonstad lineup

Shenge Wasehlalankosi and Ntencane are the two names pulling crowds toward the N1. Shenge has featured across the Heritage Tour, and Ntencane brings the kind of catalogue that keeps a Sunday audience singing well into the afternoon. Litshepe LR, Jikijiki and Umntu Omnyama fill out the guitar-driven bill, while Trixie does MC duty, with her Trixie x Trixters packages listed as separate ticket tiers.

Expect the standard Heritage Tour shape, with gates open at 10:00 and music running straight through to 20:00 in an outdoor resort setting. The series has already moved through the East Rand edition at Dries Niemandt Park, the Rustenburg date at the Royal Marang Hotel and the Paarl stop at Mbekweni Rugby Stadium, so the Kroonpark setup should feel familiar to anyone who caught an earlier leg.

Tickets, prices and where to buy

The Computicket ticket page lists seven options. Early Bird tickets at R150 are marked sold out, which leaves general access at R300 as the cheapest full-day way in. Seated area tickets run R500 and VIP is R700. There’s also a R150 cooler box ticket, cans only, and the R50 Doek Nation Cup entry that gives the main listing its from-R50 price.

• Buy online: Computicket BoxOffice
• Early Bird R150: sold out
• General Access R300
• Seated Area R500
• VIP R700
• Cooler Box Ticket, cans only, R150
• Doek Nation Cup R50
• In person: Shoprite, Checkers and USAVE counters

Comments on the organizer’s tour posts show the usual split over pricing, with some fans calling the general tier steep for a Sunday and others arguing a ten-hour, six-act bill justifies it. No cancellations or date clashes have surfaced for the Kroonstad leg so far. All genders are welcome and no age restriction is stated, though the cooler box rule means cans only if you’re bringing your own.

Venue and getting there

Kroonpark Holiday Resort is an outdoor caravan park on Border St in Central Kroonstad, which gives the festival room to spread seating, stages and food stalls across a full day. Series stops typically run food vendors on site, so plan on buying meals there rather than packing a full cooler.

Kroonstad sits right on the N1, about two hours’ drive from Johannesburg and a similar run from Bloemfontein, which makes this an easy day trip from either city. The Heritage Tour rolls on past the Free State, so keep an eye on the organizer’s channels for whatever lands next.

If a full Sunday of maskandi guitar work sounds like your kind of plan, this is the Free State’s date for it. The one move that matters now is locking a general access ticket on Computicket before the R300 tier follows the early birds out the door.
