For the first time ever, Doja Cat will perform on African soil and she’s doing it in a country deeply tied to her heritage.

She’s already conquered global stages, from Paris to New York, and now she’s bringing that same high-energy, chart-dominating magic home.

Now, if you’ve seen a Doja Cat performance before, you already know this is not a “stand and sing” situation. It’s choreography, visuals, vocals and chaos in the best possible way.

Her words say it all: Africa isn’t coming! It’s already here.

When and where is Doja performing in SA?

Mark it down properly! Doja is coming to Pretoria on March 20, 2026 at the iconic SunBet Arena as part of Global Citizen’s Move Afrika tour!

The tour also heads to Kigali earlier that week, but let’s be honest, right now, South Africa is the main character.

What is Move Afrika all about?

Move Afrika isn’t just another international tour passing through.

It’s a long-term initiative by Global Citizen designed to put African cities firmly on the global touring map.

Over 90% of crew and production roles are filled locally, equipment and services are sourced in host countries and more than 2,500 jobs have already been created across previous editions.

So when you buy a ticket, you’re not just buying a night of vibes, you’re supporting local creatives, technicians, event staff, and entire production ecosystems.
