Joburg R&B lovers, this one is for you. The smooth sounds of SiR are officially making their way to Johannesburg. The acclaimed artist has been announced as one of the headline acts for the Once Upon a Time concert, set to take place on 23 May.
The announcement has sparked excitement across the city, especially among fans who have long hoped to see the singer perform live in South Africa. Interestingly, this moment has been a long time coming. Back in 2024, a South African Instagram user, Lusanda Nosenga, reached out to SiR, urging him to visit Johannesburg. Many locals rallied behind the request - and, now, that wish is finally becoming a reality.
Known for his soulful voice and deeply emotive lyrics, SiR has built a strong global following since launching his solo career in 2012. Fans can look forward to hearing some of his biggest hits, including 'D’Evils', 'Ooh Nah Nah', and 'Hair Down' featuring Kendrick Lamar.
With four successful studio albums under his belt - 'Seven Sundays', 'November', 'Chasing Summer', and 'Heavy', SiR has consistently delivered music that resonates with themes of love and friendship. His most recent album, released in 2024, further cemented his place as one of R&B’s most compelling voices.
The Once Upon a Time concert in Johannesburg has quickly become a go-to event for R&B enthusiasts since its inception in March 2024. Known for bringing international stars to local audiences, the event offers fans a rare opportunity to experience their favourite artists live, beyond playlists and streaming platforms.
Whether you’re planning a solo night out or a romantic evening with a partner, this concert promises an unforgettable atmosphere filled with smooth melodies and heartfelt lyrics.
Johannesburg, after all, is no stranger to world-class entertainment. The city’s vibrant energy, love for music, and appreciation for live performances make it the perfect backdrop for an artist like SiR.
If you love R&B, this is one show you won’t want to miss.
