Global Citizen brings Doja Cat to headline the third edition of Move Afrika with shows in Kigali, Rwanda, on March 17 and Pretoria, South Africa, on March 20. The platform – dedicated to ending extreme poverty and advancing social justice – returns to BK Arena in Kigali and expands into South Africa with a performance at SunBet Arena in the nation’s capital. Additional regional and local performers will be revealed soon. The tour connects international headliners with African talent, production teams, and audiences to demonstrate that African cities belong on the global touring circuit.
“From my South African roots straight to the world stage, we’re bringing energy, purpose, and real change to Move Afrika in Kigali and Pretoria. This isn’t just a tour, it’s a movement that creates jobs and opportunities that last,” Doja Cat said in a statement. “I’m proud to be part of something that celebrates Africa’s creativity, invests in its future, and shows the world that Africa isn’t coming, it’s already here.”
Tickets for the Kigali performance are available now at moveafrika.org. The Pretoria show offers Mastercard cardholders presale access from Feb. 16-18, with the Big Concerts Fan Club presale running Feb. 17-18. General on-sale begins Feb. 18 at Ticketmaster.com. The tour positions African creative excellence at the center of international touring while generating employment and strengthening local creative economies.
“We are honored to welcome Doja Cat as the headliner for Move Afrika 2026,” said Hugh Evans, co-founder & CEO of Global Citizen. “She has delivered unforgettable performances at some of Global Citizen’s most defining moments, from Paris to New York to the historic FIFA Club World Cup Final Halftime Show. Now she joins us as we expand across the continent, from Johannesburg to Accra, Kigali to Lagos, and now Pretoria. Move Afrika is redefining global touring by placing Africa’s creative excellence at the center of the international circuit, creating jobs, strengthening local creative industries, and driving long-term economic growth powered by culture.”
