Fans of classic R&B have reason to celebrate as iconic vocal group Boyz II Men prepare to return to South Africa for another highly anticipated tour. The multi-award-winning quartet is set to perform in both Cape Town and Pretoria this May, promising evenings filled with nostalgia, romance, and timeless harmonies.

The announcement has already stirred excitement among long-time listeners who grew up with the band’s chart-dominating ballads in the 1990s and early 2000s. For many, their music defined a generation — and the upcoming concerts aim to bring that feeling back to life.

A Legacy of Soulful Hits That Still Connect Generations

During the height of their fame, Boyz II Men dominated global charts with slow jams and emotionally charged lyrics. Founding member Nathan Morris revealed that the group intends to perform their biggest classics, including End of the Road, On Bended Knee and I’ll Make Love to You.

According to Morris, the group maintains a special connection with South African audiences and considers the country one of their most welcoming destinations.

He explained that the energy from local crowds stands out globally, adding that the band looks forward to creating memorable nights built on music, emotion and shared experiences. Their concerts are known not only for vocal excellence but also for audience interaction — often turning arenas into sing-along choirs.

Concert Dates and Venues Confirmed

The group’s performances will take place across two major entertainment venues:

• May 27 — Grand Arena GrandWest

  
  
  

• May 29 & 30 — SunBet Arena Time Square

Organisers expect large attendance due to the band’s strong fanbase in the country, strengthened by their last visit in 2023 which sold out in multiple cities.

Why This Tour Matters for South Africa’s Live Music Scene

The tour is being promoted by Remoakantse Holdings, led by managing director Thabiso Mogashwa.
The organisers see the concerts as more than entertainment — they represent the country’s growing reputation as a destination for global performances.

Industry observers say international tours boost tourism, create jobs in production and hospitality, and reinforce South Africa’s position in the global entertainment circuit. For fans, however, the importance is simpler: a chance to witness legends perform songs that defined relationships, weddings and memories across decades.

A Career Defined by Records and Awards

Boyz II Men remain one of the most successful vocal groups in music history. With more than 60 million records sold worldwide, they have accumulated four Grammy Awards, nine American Music Awards and numerous Billboard honours.

Their influence continues to shape modern R&B artists, many of whom credit the group for pioneering emotional vocal storytelling and layered harmonies still used in contemporary music production today.

What Fans Can Expect

Attendees can anticipate a blend of nostalgia and live musical precision. The group typically performs with a live band and incorporates storytelling segments between songs — explaining the meaning behind their lyrics and reflecting on decades in the industry.

For older fans, it’s a reunion with the soundtrack of youth. For younger listeners, it’s a rare opportunity to experience live performances from artists whose music shaped the genre they enjoy today.
