Scott will be performing at the SunBet Arena, Time Square in Pretoria on 7 November 2026, with her Cape Town show taking place at the Grand Arena, GrandWest on 11 November 2026.
These concerts are promoted by Showtime Management and GRIZA Enterprises, with tickets going on sale at 9 am on Thursday, 19 March.

This will be Jill Scott’s fourth time visiting South Africa, following performances in Johannesburg in 2013 and 2024, as well as a show in Durban in 2017. She has often shared how much she values her South African fans.
After her 2024 performance in Kyalami, she wrote on Instagram: ‘I will always come back. When you sing back, Joburg, it’s so beautiful and overwhelmingly wonderful. Thank you Joburg for loving me the way you do. My heart soars.’
To Whom This May Concern, Scott’s sixth studio album, has received much critical acclaim since its release on 13 February 2026, gaining over 35 million streams internationally. The R&B/Soul album debuted in the Top 10 across 7 Billboard charts, including:

The To Whom This May Concern Tour will run internationally, with Scott performing for 36 dates across the US, UK, Europe, and South Africa, with the Cape Town show serving as the final date.
The tour will focus on live musicianship, deliberate storytelling, and the distinct warmth of Scott’s voice, featuring a number of residency-style performances with live band instrumentation at its core. Deep, immersive relationships between artists and audiences will be the goal of each specially curated performance.
‘Creating unique experiences for people in every city is incredibly important to me,‘ Scott says. ‘Music is a conversation, and the stage is where we come together to share truth, joy, and the beauty of being alive.‘
