Multi-platinum US singer-songwriter Kip Moore has announced his return to South Africa in October 2026, and if his last run of local shows were anything to go by, fans will be scrambling for tickets. And the good news is that Cape Town is set to host two back-to-back shows at GrandWest Arena on 23 and 24 October 2026. The dates form part of Moore’s new Reason To Believe World Tour, which kicks off in South Africa with an opening stop in Pretoria on 17 October.
Expect the kind of big, full-throttle live show Moore has become famous for: gritty vocals, high energy and a setlist built around the blend of country-rock anthems and heartfelt ballads that have earned him a loyal following worldwide. After previously selling out on past visits to South Africa, this latest run looks likely to be another hot ticket.
Moore’s best-known tracks include “Somethin’ ’Bout a Truck”, “Hey Pretty Girl”, “More Girls Like You”, “Damn Love”, “Wild World”, “Flowers In December” and “Last Shot”. With more than a billion streams and 2.5 million monthly listeners, he has built a reputation as a road-hardened live act with a seriously devoted fan base. In other words: if you’ve been waiting for a Reason To Believe, this is probably it.
The announcement follows the release of the deluxe edition of his latest project, Solitary Tracks, which arrived late last year. The expanded release features 26 songs, including the new track “American Heartbreak”, written by Moore and Jaren Johnston, along with stripped-down live versions of the title track and “Rivers Don’t Run”.
Tickets are on sale now, via iTicket.
