aKING live at the Half Moon, Putney.

Their first ever show on UK soil!

For South Africans abroad, these songs are more than music — they’re memory.

They’re late nights on fields at Oppikoppi, sun-soaked afternoons at Rocking the Daisies, road trips with the windows down, voices hoarse from singing every word.

Now, for the very first time, aKING brings that soundtrack across the ocean. Frontman Laudo Liebenberg and guitarist/keyboardist Andrew Davenport will deliver an intimate, stripped-back show at London’s legendary Half Moon, Putney.

This is nostalgia made new: the songs you grew up with, performed in a way you’ve never heard them before.

One night only. Extremely limited tickets. Don’t miss the homecoming you didn’t know you needed.

Line Up

aKing

aKING

Hailing from Cape Town, aKING is one of South Africa’s most beloved rock bands, known for their anthemic melodies, thought-provoking lyrics, and unmistakable stage presence. Since forming in 2007, the band has become a cornerstone of the South African alternative scene, releasing critically acclaimed albums such as Dutch Courage and Against All Odds, with tracks like Safe as Houses and The Dance becoming staples on local airwaves.

Blending soaring guitar hooks with raw lyrical honesty, aKING has built a loyal following across South Africa, headlining major festivals and touring extensively alongside some of the country’s most respected acts. Their sound is at once familiar and distinctly their own — equal parts rock, indie, and a uniquely South African storytelling spirit.

Now, for the first time ever, aKING brings their music to London. This debut show is not just a performance, but a homecoming of sorts — a chance for South African expats to come together, celebrate the music that shaped their memories back home, and share it with a new audience abroad.

Expect a set filled with fan favourites, unforgettable energy, and the same fire that has made aKING a defining voice in South African rock.
