Two-time GRAMMY winning R&B star Kehlani will bring the KEHLANI WORLD TOUR to South Africa in December 2026, with confirmed shows in Pretoria and Cape Town as part of the final stretch of her global arena run.
The South African leg follows performances scheduled across Europe, including the UK, Netherlands, France and Germany in the weeks leading up to the December dates.
The tour concludes her 2026 cycle after a global arena rollout that launched with special US shows in June, before heading to North American arenas in August and Europe late November — all in support of her self-titled album.
The announcement also aligns with increased international touring activity in South Africa, including the upcoming J Cole concert in Johannesburg.

Kehlani World Tour 2026 follows global chart performance
The tour supports Kehlani’s self-titled fifth album, which debuted at number 4 on the Billboard 200.
The release delivered her strongest opening-week performance to date within the R&B category in 2026.
The lead single ‘Folded‘ continues to drive global streaming performance and radio rotation across multiple territories.
The album, which sees the singer lean into direct storytelling while continuing to blend genre lines across R&B, pop, and soul, positioned Kehlani within a broader awards season context, including the 2026 GRAMMY Awards.
Featuring appearances from artists such as Cardi B on the hit track ‘Pocket‘ Lil Wayne on ‘Anotha Luva‘, and more, the 17-track album was driven by the success of its lead single, ‘Folded‘.
It earned two 2026 GRAMMY wins for Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance.
