Calum Scott Says He’s Never Been Happier as He Gears Up for 2025 South African Tour

After more than a decade in the entertainment industry and navigating deeply personal challenges, internationally acclaimed English singer and songwriter Calum Scott is embracing a new chapter—one marked by joy, confidence, and renewed purpose.

“I am probably happier than I have ever been,” Scott revealed in a candid interview with Independent Media Lifestyle. “I’ve never been more content in both my personal life and my professional life. I feel like I believe in myself more than I ever have, and I am in a really good place in my life.”

Known globally for soul-stirring hits like You Are The Reason and Dancing On My Own, the Brit Awards-nominated artist is now channelling that positive energy into his highly anticipated The Avenoir Tour, which is set to make its way to South Africa in early 2025. Fans can catch Calum Scott live in Cape Town on January 14, followed by a performance in Durban on January 16, and concluding the tour in Johannesburg on January 17.

Scott is no stranger to South Africa’s vibrant music-loving audience. Having toured the country in 2018, 2022, and 2023, he’s built a strong connection with local fans that continues to grow. Speaking about his return, the 36-year-old was full of admiration and gratitude.

“I love South Africa, she has been a kind mistress to me,” he shared warmly. “South Africa is very special and for me to be so far away from home and to have so many people support my music, that love what I do and have used my music for certain parts of their lives, it’s an honour.”

He added, “I have maintained that I will be the kind of artist that comes and pays my respect back, so if the least I can do is perform in South Africa for an hour and a half, then that’s exactly what I will do.”

The upcoming tour promises not only to celebrate Scott’s musical evolution but also to reflect his personal growth. With a powerful voice and deeply emotional songwriting, he continues to inspire millions around the world—and now, he returns to South Africa not just as an artist, but as someone standing tall in his truth, ready to share his journey with the fans who’ve stood by him.

Tickets for The Avenoir Tour are expected to sell fast, as South African fans prepare to welcome back one of the most beloved voices in modern pop music.
