Cape Verdean group Splash has announced concerts in Mozambique on 24 October, in the United States on 28 November and in Cape Verde in December, according to a statement reported by Expresso das Ilhas. The Mozambique concert is scheduled as part of the ninth edition of the Nostalgia event.

Splash is due to share the stage on that date with Angolan singer Yuri da Cunha and Mozambican artist Stuart Sukuma, among others. On 28 November, the group will perform in Providence, United States. Further concerts are planned in Cape Verde in December.

The tour follows a concert on 17 October in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, where the Annabel venue was sold out. The seven members — Djoy Delgado, Dina Medina, Danilo Tavares, Grace Évora, Laise Sanchez, Manu Soares and Johnny Fonseca — performed 30 musical numbers over more than two hours. Their reunion coincides with the 30th anniversary of “Simplicidade”, the group’s first album, released in 1996. Splash is also considering several dates in European capitals in 2027.
