Sean Paul tour dates

The Jamaican rapper has announced that he will be coming to South Africa for a three-night tour, Cape Town being the opening night. The artist will then move on to Pretoria at the Sunbet Arena on 4 December 2026, and finish the tour in Durban at the Durban ICC on 6 December 2026.

This will be the singer’s first concert performance in South Africa after 20 years, following his first appearance at the People’s Celebration series of concerts in the spring of 2006. The concerts were staged in celebration of Premier Foods having become the largest completely Black-owned company in South Africa.

For amapiano and dancehall lovers, the night in Cape Town is completely tailored for you.
