Today marks the beginning of an extraordinary journey as Bongeziwe Mabandla kicks off his much-anticipated South African tour, celebrating his acclaimed album amaXesha. With the support of Stella Artois, Mabandla is set to deliver a series of unforgettable performances that bring his signature blend of folk and Xhosa lyricism to audiences across the nation, from Cape Town to Soweto.
The journey starts today at The Factory in Cape Town and continues across the country, with standout shows in Stellenbosch, Langa, Bloemfontein, Gqeberha, Makhanda, East London, Durban, Tshwane, Soweto, and Johannesburg. In an exciting milestone, the performance in Langa was the first to sell out, a testament to the powerful connection Mabandla shares with his fans. These carefully selected venues are designed to immerse audiences in a soundscape that reflects the raw, resonant beauty of Mabandla’s work.
Through this collaboration with Stella Artois, Mabandla embraces the brand’s ‘Worth More’ philosophy, a message he echoes with every performance. “I believe in putting real heart and intention into everything I create,” Mabandla shares. “Stella Artois’ philosophy resonates with me because, for every show, I work to craft an experience that leaves my audience feeling like they’ve shared in something special. Audiences in every city—big or small—deserve more.”
This philosophy comes to life as Mabandla, with his team, including long-time collaborators Tiago Correia-Paulo and Bruno Saranga, dedicates himself to delivering a performance that goes beyond music to create real connections and share meaningful stories. The tour is not just a concert series; it’s an invitation to experience the transformative power of African soul in spaces that often don’t see performances of this scale.
Fans can look forward to an immersive journey as Mabandla’s tour unfolds across five provinces, each show curated to bring his soulful sound to life with authenticity and excellence. Tickets are already in demand, so music lovers should seize the chance to experience the magic of Bongeziwe Mabandla live.
“Stella Artois is proud to partner with Bongeziwe on this unique tour. With Bongeziwe’s evocative sound and Stella Artois’ dedication to elevating experiences, this collaboration promises to be an extraordinary celebration of African soul and meaningfull connection,” said Estee Burger.
