Doja Cat To Headline Move Afrika 2026 Driving Jobs And Creative Growth Across Africa

Ground-breaking movement fuels Africa’s creative economy

Global Citizen, one of the world’s largest movements to end extreme poverty, has announced that Grammy® award-winning global superstar Doja Cat will headline the third edition of Move Afrika, the ground-breaking music touring circuit led by international artists fuelling Africa’s creative economy.

Entering its third year, the 2026 edition of Move Afrika will continue to expand across Africa, creating jobs and economic opportunities across the continent. Rwanda will serve as a host country, joined by South Africa. The tour will begin with Move Afrika: Kigali at the BK Arena on March 17, and continue with Move Afrika: Pretoria at the Sunbet Arena, Time Square, on Friday, March 20 2026.

“From my South African roots straight to the world stage, we’re bringing energy, purpose, and real change to Move Afrika in Kigali and Pretoria. This isn’t just a tour, it’s a movement that creates jobs and opportunities that last,” said Doja Cat. “I’m proud to be part of something that celebrates Africa’s creativity, invests in its future, and shows the world that Africa isn’t coming, it’s already here.”

Regarded as the "Queen of Pop-Rap”, Doja Cat is known for her versatility, live performing skills, internet personality, and stage presence. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she has strong South African roots through her father, South African actor Dumisani Dlamini, a connection she proudly acknowledges. Her father's heritage is Zulu, and her mother is Jewish-American, and while she grew up with her mother in the US, she identifies with her South African ancestry

This year's instalment advances Move Afrika’s long-term mission to build the first pan-African music touring circuit that drives economic investment and creates opportunities for the next generation of young Africans to work in the continent’s creative economies in all its host cities.
