Great news for local soul and R&B fans — three-time Grammy-winning singer Jill Scott is heading back to South Africa later this year as part of her To Whom This May Concern World Tour.
She’ll perform at SunBet Arena at Time Square in Pretoria on 7 November 2026 and at the Grand Arena at GrandWest in Cape Town on 11 November 2026, with both shows starting at 8pm.
The tour supports Scott’s latest album To Whom This May Concern, her first studio release in more than a decade. Known for her warm voice, powerful storytelling and incredible live band performances, Scott’s shows are designed to create an intimate connection between artist and audience.
This will be her fourth visit to South Africa, following previous performances in Johannesburg and Durban. After her 2024 show in Kyalami, Scott shared her love for local fans on Instagram, saying: “I will always come back. When you sing back, Joburg, it’s so beautiful.”
The global tour spans 36 cities across the US, Europe, the UK and South Africa, with Cape Town set to host the final show of the entire tour.
Scott first rose to international fame with her double-platinum debut Who Is Jill Scott? Words & Sounds Vol. 1 and has since become a powerhouse in soul and R&B. Beyond music, she’s also an acclaimed actor, poet and podcast host.
