Kenny Lattimore is making his long-awaited return to South Africa, with Cape Town set to host the Grammy-nominated R&B star for a one-night-only concert this September.

Taking to the stage at the Grand Arena, GrandWest on Sunday, 20 September 2026, the Rhythm & Blues Music Hall of Fame inductee will perform in the Mother City for the first time in more than a decade, giving fans the chance to experience one of R&B’s most celebrated voices live once again.

Known for timeless love songs that have become the soundtrack to countless weddings, anniversaries and special moments, Lattimore will perform fan favourites including For You, Never Too Busy, All My Tomorrows, When I Said I Do, Weekend and Stay On Your Mind, alongside other classics from a catalogue spanning eight studio albums and two collaborative projects.

His return is one many South African fans have been waiting for. Over the years, Lattimore has built a loyal following locally, with audiences embracing his signature blend of soulful vocals, heartfelt lyrics and timeless R&B.

Speaking about bringing the R&B icon back to South Africa, Vertex Events’ Artist Liaison, Thato Mokoena, said, “As an R&B fan-favourite, Kenny Lattimore is an exciting artist for us to bring back to South Africa for the Cape Town crowd, a crowd he has not performed for in a long while. As a team, we look forward to a show that will be one to remember for a long time.”

No stranger to South African stages, Lattimore has consistently drawn audiences eager to experience his music live. This latest performance offers Cape Town fans a rare opportunity to see one of R&B’s most enduring artists in an intimate live setting.

Tickets are available through Webtickets and at Pick n Pay stores nationwide, with prices ranging from R990 to R1,490. Gates open at 5 pm on the day of the show.

Whether you’ve been listening to Kenny Lattimore since the ’90s or you’ve only recently discovered his music, this is one of those concerts that promises an evening of nostalgia, soul and timeless R&B.
