British multi-instrumentalist, producer, and performer Youngr is officially returning to South Africa for a highly anticipated tour in April 2025. Known for his infectious live-looping performances and genre-blending electronic soundscapes, Youngr is set to headline a series of shows across Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Underberg, giving fans a long-awaited opportunity to experience his electrifying artistry in person.
But this isn’t just another tour. In an exciting and unprecedented collaboration, Youngr will be joined by GoodLuck, one of South Africa’s most dynamic and successful electronic bands. Together, they promise to deliver a high-energy musical fusion that blends international electronic dance flavors with homegrown South African rhythms, creating a truly unique concert experience.
Youngr’s Musical Journey: From Global Recognition to South African Stages
Born Dario Darnell, Youngr has built a global reputation for his ability to craft infectious beats, soulful melodies, and memorable performances that blur the lines between DJ sets and full-band experiences. Rising to prominence after his viral bootleg of Sweet Disposition by The Temper Trap, Youngr quickly became recognized as one of the most innovative live performers in the electronic music world.
Armed with loop pedals, synthesizers, drum kits, and an array of instruments, Youngr’s performances are one-man shows of musical brilliance. Each concert feels spontaneous, energetic, and deeply interactive, as he builds tracks live on stage while keeping the crowd engaged through nonstop rhythms and pulsating hooks.
While Youngr has performed at major festivals around the globe — from Coachella to Tomorrowland — his return to South Africa has been one of the most requested by local fans. His last performance in the country left a lasting impression, and this 2025 tour marks not only a comeback but also a celebration of cross-cultural connection through music.
GoodLuck: South Africa’s Electronic Powerhouse
Joining Youngr on select dates is GoodLuck, a Cape Town-based band that has become one of South Africa’s leading forces in the electronic music scene. Known for their chart-topping singles, electrifying live performances, and their unique ability to fuse electronic dance with African rhythms, GoodLuck has achieved both local dominance and international recognition.
GoodLuck’s sound has been described as a “sonic safari” — an eclectic blend of electronic beats, live instrumentation, jazz elements, and African-inspired rhythms that set them apart from conventional EDM acts. With hits like “Back in the Day,” “Be Yourself,” and “I’ve Been Thinking About You,” they have become household names in South Africa’s music industry.
The band has also been trailblazers in taking South African electronic music to global audiences, touring across Europe, the US, and Asia, while collaborating with top international artists. Their decision to join forces with Youngr for this tour adds a fresh layer of excitement for fans who will witness two powerhouse acts sharing the stage.
A Collaboration That Promises Fireworks
The partnership between Youngr and GoodLuck is more than just a joint tour — it’s a cultural exchange. While Youngr brings his international live-looping magic, GoodLuck brings the authentic energy of South African electronic music. Fans can expect collaborative performances, mashups, and never-before-seen renditions of some of their biggest hits.
