A decade-long wait is finally over as American rapper and record producer J. Cole prepares to make a historic return to South Africa for the grand finale of The Fall-Off World Tour.

Set to take over the iconic FNB Stadium in Johannesburg on 12 December 2026, the concert marks a significant full-circle moment for the Let Nas Down rapper, who hasn’t performed in Mzansi since 2016.

With his seventh and rumoured final studio album, The Fall Off, currently dominating the charts, the excitement has reached a fever pitch as fans scramble to secure their place for what promises to be one of the biggest live music events in South African history.

The Fall Off tour will see J. Cole headline over 15 countries, kicking off on Saturday, 11 July in Charlotte, North Carolina.

This follows the rapper’s recent decision to withdraw from the long-standing Kendrick Lamar and Drake feud - a controversial move that drew significant backlash from some while earning him praise from others for his maturity.

With the final leg hosted in Mzansi, eager supporters have included the concert in their budgets as they count down to pay day to officially secure their tickets.

WonderMahlobo said:

"These tickets will be sold out next week. South Africans are waiting for payday next Wednesday. Don't be surprised if they get finished the same night. 90k strong, we will be there."

BMadupela was worried:

"They need to add a second date to the South African tour. It's only been a week, and most of the tickets are sold out. Some of us haven't been paid yet."
