Emalyth Events close their year with six bands at Sognage: their 23rd and final show of 2026.
The story
Last Blast is back on Friday 04/12/2026 at Sognage in Johannesburg, the final Emalyth Events show of the year.
The bill is Facing The Gallows, Sunken State, Freedom For Your Life, Killing Eden, Starks Daemon and Die Gemeente. The promoter calls it their traditional end-of-year metal gathering.
It is Emalyth’s 23rd show of 2026, a year that included Mayhem, July Jol, Sirens and the Wacken Metal Battle Africa Finals at Sognage. Tickets are released in three phases: R150, then R200, then R250.

- Buy early: phase one is R150, rising to R200 and then R250.
- Check Emalyth Events’ pages for times and the running order closer to the date.
- Sognage is in Strydompark, Randburg; plan transport home for a late finish.
Our take
Six bands on a Friday in December is a proper send-off for the Joburg scene’s year, and Sunken State, as past Wacken Metal Battle winners, are a reliable draw.
Phased pricing rewards the people who commit early. If you know you are going, buy in phase one.
Bottom line
Friday 04/12/2026, Sognage, Johannesburg. From R150.
