The Delicious Food and Music Festival, previously associated with MultiChoice through its DStv brand, has secured a new headline sponsor in Absa following the withdrawal of support from Canal+ due to corporate restructuring. Absa, a major South African financial institution, has partnered with the festival to promote cultural and creative experiences for its customers and communities. The festival, which previously featured international artists such as Janet Jackson and Erykah Badu, has also confirmed a broadcasting partnership with the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC). The 2026 edition of the festival was canceled and rescheduled for April 2027 at the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit in Johannesburg.
