Old School R&B Brunch tour: Durban, Johannesburg, Cape Town
The Old School R&B Brunch returns with a Heartbreak to High Notes theme, with three South African stops starting in Durban this weekend.
Fans of 1990s and early 2000s R&B have a fresh reason to dust off their favourite playlists. The Old School R&B Brunch is back in South Africa as part of its global tour, with shows in Durban, Johannesburg and Cape Town, according to IOL.
Dates and venues
The South African leg begins in Durban and ends in Cape Town. These are the details listed for each city:
- Durban: Saturday, 24 October 2026, at The Villa
- Johannesburg: Sunday, 25 October 2026, at Maracanà
- Cape Town: Sunday, 1 November 2026, at Cabo Beach
Tickets are sold through uTickets.
What to expect
This year’s theme is Heartbreak to High Notes. It celebrates the music that soundtracked first loves, break-ups and nights on the dance floor in the 1990s and early 2000s. That means slow jams, heartbreak anthems and upbeat tracks that get a whole crowd singing along.
The organisers describe the event as more than a standard brunch. Besides the music, the day includes food, interactive games, live hosting and crowd-led moments. The idea is that guests take part rather than simply sit and listen, which makes it an option for groups of friends wanting something different from the usual weekend outing.
What this means for you
The Durban show takes place tomorrow, so anyone in KwaZulu-Natal who wants to go will need to sort out tickets quickly. Johannesburg follows a day later, and Cape Town is the last stop, on 1 November, which leaves a little more time to plan.
The source did not give ticket prices, gate times or a performer line-up. Check the uTickets listing for the city you plan to attend before you make arrangements, and confirm the venue details there as well.
For anyone who still knows every word of their favourite R&B ballads, the tour offers a chance to sing them out loud with a room full of fellow fans.
