Sadly, these two events have been cancelled.
The organizers posted this message on Social Media this morning:
‘We’re sad to share that Calabash South Africa 2026 has been cancelled.

“Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, we will be unable to proceed with the upcoming scheduled shows. This has been a very difficult decision, and one we did not take lightly.”
“We’re truly sorry to everyone who purchased tickets and appreciate your understanding. Refunds will be available from the point of purchase. We hope to be back with you again very soon. Muse”
