South African powerhouse takes his decade-spanning catalogue on the road with a national concert tour celebrating legacy, new music and a new chapter
South Africa; August 2026 — Ten years after the release of the album that helped define his journey, Vusi Nova is hitting the road.
The acclaimed South African vocalist has announced the “Here to Stay” National Tour, a major live concert series celebrating a decade of Naninina while introducing audiences to his latest chapter, the newly released Here to Stay EP.
Presented by Nova Sounds, the tour will travel across South Africa from October 2026 through March 2027, bringing together the songs, stories and moments that have made Vusi Nova one of the country’s most distinctive and enduring voices.
Named after his new EP, Here to Stay represents more than a collection of new music. It is a statement of longevity, a reflection of an artist who has spent more than a decade building a catalogue around love, heartbreak, healing, vulnerability, resilience and the realities of life.
The EP features songs including “Thandeka” and “Here to Stay”, offering audiences a glimpse into where Vusi Nova is creatively today while remaining rooted in the emotional storytelling that has defined his career.
TEN YEARS OF NANININA. ONE NATIONAL TOUR.
At the centre of the tour is the 10-year anniversary of Naninina, an important milestone in Vusi Nova’s career and a project that helped deepen the connection between the artist and his audience.
A decade later, those songs continue to hold meaning for listeners. The “Here to Stay” National Tour will bring that history to the stage alongside the music that has followed creating a live experience that celebrates where Vusi Nova has been, where he is now and where he is going next.
Audiences can expect a carefully produced concert experience featuring career-defining hits, fan favourites, selections from Naninina and new material from Here to Stay.
For the fans who have been there from the beginning, it is a chance to relive the soundtrack to a decade of memories.
For those discovering Vusi Nova today, it is an opportunity to experience the depth of his catalogue and the power of his live performance in one concert. “This tour is about celebrating the journey, but it is also about looking forward,” says Vusi Nova. “Ten years of Naninina is a milestone I am incredibly proud of, but I am just as excited about what is still ahead. Here to Stay is exactly that, a reminder that the journey continues.”

It is a celebration of evolution.

Ten years later, the songs remain. The memories remain. The voice remains.
Vusi Nova is Here to Stay.
