Festival: Desmond Tutu United 4 Humanity Peace Concert @ Artscape Theatre

Tickets: R150 via Webtickets

This annual celebration has become a flagship of Cape Town’s cultural calendar. It honours the Arch’s legacy of hope, reconciliation, and unity through a spectacular showcase of global and local talent. The star-studded lineup features Mansoor Joseph, Koko-Jean & The Tonics (Spain), Enrico Cipollini & Cisalpipers (Italy), Anna Fält (Sweden), Susanna Aleksandra (Estonia) and Kimyan (Austria). Headliners include Dyskinetic (UK) and the Unmute Dance Company, alongside award-winning “word designer” Jitsvinger from the Cape Flats, who brings his groundbreaking Afrikaaps artistry in collaboration with Māori singer Kapowairua. Opening with the spirited voices of Mitchell’s Plain’s Yellowwood Primary School Choir singing the EU anthem “Ode to Joy”, this unforgettable evening promises cultural diversity, global resonance, and the kind of unity the Arch himself would have cherished.
