Cape Town music fans are in for a double-header treat this August, as British breakthrough duo Good Neighbours and New Zealand singer-songwriter TEEKS take the stage at the Grand Arena, GrandWest, for a one-night-only concert on Thursday, 27 August 2026.
Expect a night of soulful songs and uplifting indie-pop tunes, in a show that brings together two hot international acts with very different sounds but a shared talent for tracks that kick with emotion.
Presented by BreakOut Events, the Cape Town show promises euphoric singalongs from Good Neighbours and the velvet-voiced soul that has made TEEKS one of New Zealand’s most compelling contemporary artists.
Who are Good Neighbours?
If you’re not one of the hundreds of millions of people who have seen Good Neighbours on TikTok (where they broke out in 2024), it’s time to fix that. The duo comprises Oli Fox and Scott Verrill, who hail from East London (no, not KuGompo City) in the UK.
Their runaway hit ‘Home’ was released in early 2024, and the track quickly became one of the year’s defining debut singles, racking up hundreds of millions of streams and propelling the band onto international stages. It’s a track built on bright hooks, stadium-sized choruses and all the feel-good nostalgia the world needs right now. Need a reference point? Imagine MGMT, Passion Pit and Bleachers walked into a bar and started jamming.
But Good Neighbours are no one-TikTok wonder (does anyone even remember Nathan Evans and ‘Wellerman’?)… the pair have since ridden that online momentum into IRL sold-out shows across the UK, US, Canada and Australia. Meanwhile, their debut album, 'Blue Sky Mentality', is flying on major platforms, carrying the same sense of optimism and uplifting energy that powered ‘Home’ into our ears. For Cape Town fans, it’s a rare chance to catch one of indie-pop’s hottest new names on a local stage.
What about TEEKS?
TEEKS, the celebrated Māori soul artist, whose given name is Te Karehana Gardiner-Toi, has built a devoted following since releasing his 2017 EP ‘The Grapefruit Skies’. Known for his emotive songwriting with a voice to match his 2021 debut album ‘Something To Feel’ reached number one in New Zealand, cemented by his reputation for spellbinding live performances.
Locals probably know him best for the slow-burning love song ‘First Time’, but TEEKS’ catalogue runs deeper, spanning a style that blends soul, R&B and emotional balladry.
“We're always looking to bring world-class artists and fresh musical experiences to South African audiences,” says Damon Forbes, Managing Director at BreakOut Events. “Good Neighbours and TEEKS are two of the most exciting international acts currently connecting with audiences worldwide. Bringing them together for one special night in Cape Town creates a truly unique concert experience that we believe music fans will not want to miss.”
