Smile 90.4 FM and Breakout Events proudly present legendary British synth-pop pioneers The Human League, live in South Africa this May. Joined by special guests Blancmange, the iconic band will perform in Cape Town on Tuesday, 12 May 2026, at the Grand Arena, GrandWest — a must-see night for fans of classic electronic pop.
Few bands have shaped modern pop music like The Human League. Rising from Sheffield in the late ’70s, they became global icons of the synth-pop movement, with their landmark album Dare producing timeless hits such as “Don’t You Want Me,” “Love Action (I Believe in Love)” and “Open Your Heart.” With decades of chart-defining anthems and millions of albums sold, their influence continues to span generations.
Joining them are UK electronic legends Blancmange, known for their innovative blend of synthesisers and surreal pop. From classics like “Living on the Ceiling” and “Blind Vision” to their acclaimed modern releases, Blancmange bring a rich, forward-thinking edge to the night.
This hit-packed live experience promises a euphoric journey through synth-driven classics, style and nostalgia. Tickets are on sale now via Breakout Events and Webtickets — and are expected to move fast.
