The event will be held at Cape Town’s Grand Parade on December 15, 2026. Maphorisa will perform an Afro House set, joining Black Coffee, who was previously named as the headline act. Gallo 100 will showcase a century of music recorded and preserved by Gallo Record Company, spanning genres such as jazz, mbaqanga, isicathamiya, maskandi, gospel, reggae, soul, kwaito, and house. The festival will blend music from Gallo’s extensive archive with current South African sounds, including archive-led storytelling and live performances. Additional artists are anticipated to be revealed before the event. In July, Gallo recognized musicians Thandiswa Mazwai and Simphiwe Dana with the Gallo Renaissance Award for their significant contributions to African music. Antos Stella, speaking for Gallo Music, emphasized the company's celebration of artists whose music has shaped the nation's story.",
