Multi-platinum selling singer/songwriter Calum Scott first toured Mzansi back in 2018 in support of his “Only Human” album, seeing thousands of local fans rushing to experience his first live performance in South Africa. In 2022 and 2023, Scott toured again across the country, cementing his love for SA with ongoing fan support.

With his powerful voice and soul-baring songwriting, Calum creates the kind of deeply resonant songs that are primed to accompany the most meaningful moments in people's lives.

From weddings to end-of-life rituals, fans have turned to his music to soundtrack major life events and for solace in times of heartbreak and loss. To date, Calum’s music has amassed over 10 billion streams worldwide.

He will return for another tour of South Africa in January 2026, again reaching Cape Town and Durban, and also now with his first show in Pretoria.

"I remember my first time in South Africa, being blown away by the demand for tickets to my show - it made me feel so special. Every time that I have been back, I have felt the same love and excitement. Touring is my favourite part of my job but touring in places like South Africa is just a dream come true," said Scott.

The Avenoir Tour, by Breakout Events, is his biggest tour to date, which includes a run of the UK and European shows across 24 cities later this year.

He will perform in Cape Town on January 14 at 6pm at Kirstenbosch Gardens; in Durban at the ICC on January 16 at 7pm; in Pretoria on January 17 at the SunBet Arena at 7pm.
