After an 11-year absence, South African music duo Liquideep is making a triumphant return to the stage, much to the delight of fans. On Sunday, February 1, 2026, Cape Town’s Cabo Beach Club will transform into a hub of nostalgia, music, and connection as Ziyon and Ryzor reunite for an unforgettable live performance.
The event promises not only the dazzling performance of Liquideep but also a lineup of exciting supporting acts, including DWSON, FKA MASH, KID FONQUE, KUDBEU, MILA-ROSE, and VINNY DA VINCI. This mix of talent ensures a night filled with diverse sounds and rhythms, echoing the duo's significant impact on the South African music scene.
Liquideep first captivated audiences with their chart-topping hits such as "Fairytale," "BBM," "Welcome Aboard," "Alone," and "Something About You." Their debut album, "Oscillations," released in 2009, quickly resonated with listeners, marking the duo's ascent in the Afro House genre. They followed with "Fabrics of the Heart" in 2010 and "Welcome Aboard" in 2013, crafting tracks that seamlessly blended emotive lyrics with infectious beats. Their music became both a staple on radio and a beloved choice in clubs, remaining timeless long after its initial release.
As their career flourished, Liquideep garnered numerous awards and nominations, solidifying their status within the South African music industry. However, after a prolonged hiatus from the spotlight, Ziyon embarked on a solo journey, leaving fans yearning for the cherished sounds that defined a generation.
