John Legend is bringing The Muse Tour to South Africa, with a stop at Pretoria's SunBet Arena on 20 February 2027. The singer, songwriter and pianist will perform music spanning his career, giving fans a chance to revisit some of the songs that have made him one of the most recognisable voices in contemporary music while getting to know his latest work.
The show will feature tracks from his newest album, Muse, alongside well-known songs such as All of Me, Ordinary People and Tonight (Best You Ever Had). It’s a mix of music from different stages of his career, with the latest release adding another chapter to a catalogue that has earned him fans around the world.
Released in October 2026, Muse is Legend’s 12th studio album and brings an exciting collaboration with Pharrell Williams, who co-wrote and produced the album. The two have been friends for more than two decades, but this marks their first project together. The album draws on a range of Black musical traditions and sounds, including gospel, classic soul, Afrobeat and hip-hop. It’s a collection that explores different influences while giving listeners something new from the award-winning artist.
Legend’s career has reached far beyond the recording studio. He has earned 13 Grammy Awards, an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, a Tony Award and four Emmy Awards, making him an EGOT winner. His celebrated albums include Get Lifted, Love in the Future and BIGGER LOVE, alongside his more recent releases.
Pretoria will be the first stop on the South African leg of The Muse Tour, followed by Durban and Cape Town. For local fans, the February performance brings the opportunity to hear music from across Legend’s career, including the latest material from Muse, in a live setting.
