South Africa’s festive season concert calendar just got even bigger. Two-time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Kehlani has officially announced that she will be bringing The Kehlani World Tour to South Africa this December. Presented by Big Concerts, the tour will include two exclusive arena shows. Kehlani will first perform at the SunBet Arena at Time Square in Pretoria on 15 December 2026 before heading to Cape Town for a show at the Grand Arena, GrandWest on 17 December 2026.
Although Kehlani previously performed at Rocking the Daisies in 2022, this will be her first official solo arena tour in South Africa. The announcement follows a landmark year for the multi-platinum artist, whose self-titled album Kehlani received widespread acclaim. Her hit single Folded also earned her two Grammy Awards for Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song.

Joining Kehlani on both South African dates will be rising contemporary R&B star Destin Conrad. Known for his smooth vocals and jazz-inspired sound, Conrad is expected to set the tone for an unforgettable evening celebrating modern R&B music. With international R&B acts drawing massive crowds in South Africa, tickets are expected to sell quickly. Mastercard and Big Concerts Fan Club presales have already generated significant interest, highlighting the strong demand for the shows. General ticket sales open on 19 June 2026 at 09:00 SAST and will be available exclusively through Ticketmaster.
