Multi-GRAMMY Award-winning, diamond-selling band Train is fresh off the heels of an epic summer headline tour that took in nearly 50 U.S. cities, and recently the band announced their long-awaited South Africa tour in 2024.
Train’s highly anticipated ‘I Know, It’s Been A Long Time Coming Tour’ will bring fans across the globe an epic night of music filled with the band’s most iconic hits spanning three decades. The international tour kicks off April 26, 2024 in Manchester, UK, which marks Train’s first UK show in seven years, and will travel through cities in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark.

Train frontman Pat Monahan comments on the tour
“After 25 years of releasing Train’s first album, we are finally going to South Africa, a place we’ve all dreamt of since we were little kids. What a beautiful and treasured gift music has been for us. We can’t wait to be there and perform for what we know will be an incredible and beautiful group of people.”
