John Legend Brings The Muse Tour to South Africa Next February

South African fans will have the chance to see John Legend perform live next February, when the singer brings The Muse Tour to Pretoria, Durban and Cape Town. The concerts are presented by Big Concerts, with a set expected to feature well-known songs from his career alongside new music from his latest album, Muse. The tour schedule names SunBet Arena at Time Square in Pretoria for 20 February 2027 and Grand Arena at GrandWest in Cape Town for 25 February. The article also lists Durban as a stop, although it does not give a date or venue there. General ticket sales are due to open at 9am on Friday, 13 November, through Ticketmaster and Big Concerts. Legend, born John Roger Stephens in Springfield, Ohio, in December 1978, began learning piano as a child and sang in his church choir. Gospel music became one of the influences in his sound. Before establishing himself as a recording artist, he worked as a pianist and backing vocalist, contributing to projects involving performers including Lauryn Hill, Alicia Keys and Kanye West. His debut album, Get Lifted, arrived in 2004 and included “Ordinary People,” helping bring his music to a wider audience. Over the years, he has released albums including Once Again, Love in the Future, Darkness and Light and LEGEND. “All of Me,” the piano-led ballad dedicated to his wife, model Chrissy Teigen, became one of his signature songs and a popular choice at weddings. The singer has also earned an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award, making him an EGOT winner in 2018. Muse, described as his 12th studio album, reunites him creatively with longtime friend Pharrell Williams, who co-wrote and produced the record. The album draws on gospel, classic soul, doo-wop, Afrobeat and hip-hop, according to the report.
