New Zealand soul artist TEEKS is set to perform in South Africa from August 27 to August 30. The three-city tour will take place in Cape Town, Durban, and Johannesburg, with shows at Old Biscuit Mill, The Station, and Parklive Jozi Festival at Marks Park, respectively. This will be TEEKS' first time performing in South Africa, a country he expressed excitement about in April.

Known for his emotionally deep and timeless voice, TEEKS, whose real name is Te Karehana Gardiner-Toi, has captivated audiences worldwide since his critically acclaimed 2017 EP 'The Grapefruit Skies'. His debut album 'Something To Feel', released in 2021, went chart-topping and produced the Double Platinum-certified hit "First Time".

The song gained massive popularity on South African TikTok in 2022, leading to his dedicated local fanbase. For his Parklive Jozi show, TEEKS will be joined by South African artists Rowlene, Apple Gule, Will Linley, Elaine, and Mathew Mole.
