In a recent chat with Angela Yee on her show, Way Up, Jenkins couldn't contain his excitement about his upcoming visit. “Every time I come to South Africa, it feels like home,” he remarked, reminiscing about the unforgettable experiences he's had there. Those sentiments reflect a genuine connection that transcends borders, making his return much anticipated by fans.

This venue is known for its cool, laid-back vibe and fosters an up-close-and-personal experience, giving fans a special opportunity to connect with the artist on a deeper level.


As Jenkins counts down the days to the tour, the excitement is palpable. Being an artist whose music often touches on themes of self-awareness and societal issues, his live performances are more than just concerts; they are experiences that challenge, inspire, and foster community.
