Mario, Dru Hill and Silk add second Cape Town show for May 2027
Following strong demand, the three R&B acts will play an additional Cape Town concert at GrandWest, with tickets going on sale tomorrow.
R&B fans in Cape Town have a second chance to see Mario, Dru Hill and Silk live. According to IOL, an additional concert has been added in the Mother City after what was described as overwhelming demand for the first announcement.
Date and venue
The extra show will take place at the Grand Arena, GrandWest, on Wednesday 19 May 2027. The three internationally acclaimed acts will share the stage, bringing different eras of R&B together in one evening.
Mario, who is Grammy-nominated and has a career spanning more than two decades, leads the line-up. He is best known for songs such as “Let Me Love You”, “Just a Friend 2002”, “How Do I Breathe”, “Crying Out for Me” and “Music for Love”.
He will be joined by Dru Hill, whose harmonies and catalogue have made them lasting favourites among R&B listeners, and by Silk, a group known for its smooth vocals and signature sound.
What the promoter said
The additional date is presented by Remoakantse Holdings. Its managing director, Thabiso Mogashwa, said the decision followed the strong response to the first announcement. “We are thrilled by the response to the announcement,” Mogashwa said, adding that the company wanted to give more Cape Town fans a chance to see the artists live.
He also described bringing the three acts together as a special celebration of R&B.
What fans need to know
- Cape Town date: Wednesday 19 May 2027, Grand Arena, GrandWest.
- Ticket sales for the extra show: they open on Friday 13 November 2026.
- Where to buy: Webtickets and Pick n Pay outlets nationwide.
- Pretoria: the concert will also be held on 22 May 2027, and tickets for that show are already available through the same platforms.
The report did not mention ticket prices, so fans should check the price categories on the Webtickets listing before buying. Because the first Cape Town announcement drew such a strong response, those planning to attend may want to buy early once sales open tomorrow. Anyone outside the Western Cape can look at the Pretoria date instead.
