Mzansi, are you ready to 'Take It Back'?
Legendary R&B singer, songwriter and producer Babyface is officially coming to South Africa!
The multi-award-winning artist is set to headline the 2025 All White Soul Sessions Concert, which will take place on Friday, December 12, and Saturday, December 13, at the SunBet Arena, Time Square in Pretoria.
Born Kenneth Brian Edmonds, Babyface is a musical force whose influence spans over four decades.
With over 125 Top 10 hits, 42 number-one R&B hits, and 13 Grammy Awards under his belt, he's been the creative genius behind some of the biggest R&B hits of all time - both as a solo artist and through his work with artists such as Toni Braxton, Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, TLC and Mariah Carey.
Known for smooth classics like "Whip Appeal", "Every Time I Close My Eyes" and "When Can I See You", fans can expect a soulful, nostalgic and unforgettable experience.
Babyface's upcoming concert adds to an already star-studded international music line-up heading to SA this year.
