R&B Royalty Heads to South Africa for Three-Night Mini Tour

Three of R&B’s best-loved acts, Brian McKnight, All-4-One and SWV, are heading to South Africa for a short run of live shows later this month, and demand is already high.

The tour opens on the 28th of October 2026 at the Grand Arena, GrandWest, in Cape Town. That show is already sold out. The action then moves to Gauteng for two nights at the Sunbet Arena, Time Square, in Pretoria, on the 30th and 31st of October. Organisers report that the 30th show is 90% sold out and the 31st show is 60% sold out, so seats are going quickly.

The line-up pairs three acts with long careers. Brian McKnight is known for smooth, romantic ballads such as “Back at One”. All-4-One made its name with harmony-driven slow jams including “I Swear”. SWV, the female trio behind the hit “Weak”, brings the sound of 90s R&B. Together they offer a night of nostalgia for fans who grew up on these songs and for newer listeners discovering the catalogue.

Tickets are available through Webtickets, including at Pick n Pay stores.
