After previously expressing his desire to make his way to South Africa, Grammy-nominated R&B superstar Tyrese Gibson is officially touching down in Mzansi.
Tyrese will headline the final night of Ndlala Grandeur II at Ndlala Arena in Pretoria on Sunday, August 23, 2026, bringing one of R&B’s most recognisable voices to South African soil.
For fans who have been waiting for that moment, the wish has finally become a reality.
Tyrese’s arrival forms part of a three-day celebration of R&B royalty, with the likes of RL, Mýa, Zonke Dikana, Ginuwine, Case and Vusi Nova also joining the line-up across the weekend.
But Sunday belongs to Tyrese.
The singer, actor, author and producer has spent more than 25 years building a career that has made him a household name on both the music and Hollywood stages.
Long before his “Fast & Furious” and “Transformers” roles made him a global movie star, Tyrese was winning over R&B lovers with his music. His platinum-selling debut and albums including “2000 Watts”, “I Wanna Go There” and “Black Rose” cemented his place in the genre, while his work as part of R&B supergroup TGT alongside Ginuwine and Tank further strengthened his musical legacy.
And now, South African fans finally get to experience that catalogue live.
His Ndlala Grandeur II performance will close out the three-day event, promising an evening packed with nostalgia, big vocals and the kind of R&B moments that have soundtracked generations.
The timing also feels particularly fitting, with Tyrese sharing the weekend with fellow R&B heavyweights including Ginuwine and Case, giving fans an entire weekend to relive some of the genre’s most memorable eras.
Ndlala Grandeur II is positioning itself as more than just another concert, bringing together international stars and South African talent for an elevated celebration of R&B and soul.
Ndlala Grandeur II takes place from August 21–23, 2026, at Ndlala Arena, Pretoria, with Tyrese headlining on Sunday, August 23.

When I began my first job as a video editor for a media company back in 2007 at the age of 21, I quickly became good friends with the guys in the animation department.
