Karyn White to Headline GBVF Concert in Durban

International R&B legend Karyn White will headline the ICONIC GLOBAL Advocacy Concert Against Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) on 4 April at the prestigious Olive Convention Centre.

More than just a live performance, the event is positioned as a purpose-driven gathering — uniting music lovers, activists, partners and community leaders in a shared stand against GBVF. Presented by Dante’s Premiere Lounge in partnership with Noble Lounge, the concert reflects a growing movement within the entertainment sector to leverage culture as a catalyst for social change.

Best known for timeless hits such as Superwoman, Romantic and Secret Rendezvous, White’s catalogue has long celebrated strength, independence and emotional resilience — themes that resonate deeply within the advocacy focus of the evening. Her Durban performance promises to be both intimate and electrifying, offering fans the rare opportunity to experience a global R&B icon live while supporting a meaningful cause.

The ICONIC GLOBAL Advocacy Concert positions music as more than entertainment. It becomes a platform for dialogue, solidarity and collective accountability in addressing one of South Africa’s most urgent social challenges. By bringing an internationally respected voice to the local stage, organisers aim to amplify the message that ending GBVF requires sustained attention, collaboration and cultural leadership.

Beyond the stage, the evening will serve as a space for reflection, connection and community-building — honouring resilience while mobilising action.

With limited tickets available, demand is expected to be high for what promises to be a powerful night of music with purpose.
