In a dazzling fusion of Hollywood grandeur and African artistry, legendary composer Hans Zimmer arrives in Cape Town as the special guest for Lebo M Live – a historic homecoming performance set to captivate audiences on Friday, 18 April, 2025, at the Grand Arena, GrandWest.
This extraordinary event marks a full-circle moment for the two icons, whose decades-long creative partnership has enchanted global audiences. After Lebo M spent years as a featured guest on Zimmer’s world tours, the Lion King composer now takes the stage in Lebo M’s homeland, celebrating a bond forged through music, culture, and mutual admiration.
“This isn’t just a concert – it’s a homecoming, a tribute to our shared legacy,” says Lebo M, the visionary behind The Lion King’s unforgettable sound. “Hans has been a brother in art and life, and to bring him here, to perform for South Africa, is a dream realised.”
Promising a night of breath-taking spectacle, Lebo M Live will feature a full orchestra, the Soweto Spiritual Singers, dynamic African dancers, and a lineup of world-class musicians. The setlist will weave together beloved classics like Circle of Life and He Lives in You, Broadway hits such as One by One, and exclusive new material from Lebo M himself.
“There’s something profoundly moving about performing this music where it all began,” shares Hans Zimmer. “Lebo and I have traveled the world together, but this—this feels like coming home.”
With tickets selling fast and global buzz building, this is more than a concert – it’s a cultural milestone.
