British R&B singer‑songwriter Ella Mai is set to perform in South Africa for the first time this April, bringing her soulful sound to fans in Sun City on the 25th and Cape Town’s Grand Arena on the 26th. The Grammy‑winning artist rose to international fame with her 2018 hit “Boo’d Up,” a smooth, emotive track that quickly became a global R&B staple, earning her widespread acclaim and a Grammy for Best R&B Song. Songs like “Trip” followed, cementing her reputation as one of contemporary R&B’s leading voices.
Ella Mai will be joined by a lineup of South Africa’s top talent, including Uncle Waffles, Sjava, Zee Nxumalo, Nasty C, Scorpion Kings, Oscar Mbo, and others, making the shows a celebration of both international and local music. Fans can expect a mix of her biggest hits and selections from her newer projects, delivered with the emotive, melodic style that has made her one of the most compelling voices in modern R&B.
These concerts mark a milestone for South African audiences, giving them the chance to experience Ella Mai live for the first time. With the addition of some of the country’s most exciting performers, the April shows promise to be unforgettable nights of music, blending global R&B with South Africa’s vibrant and diverse sound.
Tickets are expected to sell quickly, as excitement builds for what will be one of the most talked-about music events of the year.
