In an exciting development for South African RnB fans, globally acclaimed artist Summer Walker is set to make her highly anticipated debut in Gauteng this October.
Following overwhelming demand after Walker was announced as the headliner at the popular Rocking the Daisies festival in Cape Town, she will take center stage at In The City, hosted at the SunBet Arena, Time Square in Pretoria.
This highly awaited event, organised by STAY LOW, a prominent Johannesburg-based record label, in association with LVRN (Love Renaissance), offers a unique opportunity for fans to experience Walker's soulful performances in an intimate setting.
Known for her thought-provoking lyrics and genre-defining sound, Walker has built a music career that includes era-defining albums such as "Over It" and "Still Over It", both of which have set charts ablaze and garnered a dedicated global fanbase.
Marking her first-ever performance in Gauteng, this event promises to be a milestone for RnB enthusiasts across the country. With a collection of chart-toppers and sold-out tours to her name, Walker’s appearance in South Africa signifies a defining moment for the local music scene – a celebration of cultural unity and musical exploration.
In The City is known for its curated high-production live music experiences since its inception in 2018, the event aims to pair international artists with local audiences in an engaging atmosphere.
This year's edition of In The City enhances the fusion of global excellence and intimate environments, creating an unforgettable musical night that resonates with connection and cultural energy.
Previous artists who have performed at In The City include Ayra Star, 6LACK and Snoh Aalegra.
The collaboration between STAY LOW and LVRN further underscores the importance of bridging African and global creative economies through shared stages and genre-defying music. As a home to groundbreaking artists like 6LACK alongside Walker, LVRN’s involvement ensures that this concert is more than just a performance; it’s a cultural celebration that highlights the rich tapestry of music and creativity.
