Dey Say, South Africa\u2019s breakout boyband and TikTok sensation, popular for their single \u201cCalling For You (Ringback)\u201d, have announced an upcoming Pan-African Tour dubbed KTOF (Kids Take Over the Future) that will launch in Nairobi, Kenya, on 7 \u2013 14th March 2026.<\/p>\n
Chadwell Johnson, Leandre Johnson, Elim Solomons and Joaquin Jardine are the members of Dey Say, a rising pop group hailing from Johannesburg\u2019s township of Eldorado Park, aged between 16 and 20.<\/p>\n
The boyband will tour part of the continent under the management of Plus Two Seven.<\/p>\n
\u201cDey Say is leading a movement that celebrates African talent with global relevance. They are creating a lane no African boy band has explored before,\u201d Quaid Dunn, Co-Founder and A&R Lead at Plus Two Seven, said. \u201cKenya was intentionally chosen as the starting point for its strong influence on youth culture and its role as a gateway into East Africa\u2019s vibrant creative ecosystem. At its core, KTOF carries a simple, powerful message: no matter where you come from, take the first step and follow your dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n
Blending smooth harmonies, rhythmic innovation and global boyband influences with an unmistakable African flavour, Dey Say have quickly grown from local standouts into a continental phenomenon. With over 130,000 TikTok followers and more than 10 million collective views, the group continues to capture the attention of a new generation of African pop fans.<\/p>\n
During the Nairobi leg, Dey Say will meet their young fanbase and perform \u201cCalling For You (Ringback)\u201d and other fan favourites, including a meet-and-greet session at Ball Point, Village Market on Saturday, March 14th, 2026 at 6 PM.<\/p>\n
After Kenya, they will return to South Africa for a national schools program and continue across Namibia, Zambia, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda and Ghana.<\/p>\n
Each stop will feature live performances, media appearances and youth-focused workshops, giving young people the tools, guidance and inspiration to pursue their creative ambitions.<\/p>\n
\u201cDey Say embodies the spirit of a new Africa: bold, creative and globally connected. KTOF empowers young African creators to dream bigger and reach further,\u201d Jonathan Jules, Co-Founder and Business Lead at Plus Two Seven, adds.<\/p>\n
Dey Say are working on their debut double EP, set for release later in the year.<\/p>\n
Their music, which they define as APOP (African Pop), draws inspiration from global boyband genres such as J-pop and K-pop, infused with an unmistakable African flavour.<\/p>\n
