SculpturedMusic Headlines Listening Session at Mea Culpa Johannesburg

SculpturedMusic plays Mea Culpa in Johannesburg on Saturday, September 26, 2026. The Kew venue hosts the deep house producer for a session billed as an album listening experience and live performance, and it lands two weeks after his Welkom set at 057 Café Grill.

Fans of soulful South African house know the man behind the alias well. Willy Lubisi has spent years building a catalogue of percussive grooves and lush pads, with vocal collaborations that keep resurfacing in Gauteng DJ sets. His 2026 album Playhouse is the likely centrepiece given the session format.

• Date: Saturday, September 26, 2026, door times TBA
• Venue: Mea Culpa, 35 11th Rd, Kew, Johannesburg, Gauteng
• Lineup: SculpturedMusic, support acts TBA
• Tickets: price TBA, no sales page live yet
• Where to buy: TBA, watch the venue and artist socials for the drop

What to Expect

Listening sessions have become the format of choice for South African house producers, and the good ones double as proper parties. Jullian Gomes ran a similar deep house session at Hartbeespoort this year. Expect SculpturedMusic to walk the crowd through Playhouse before opening up his back catalogue, the kind of set that rewards people who arrive early.

No support acts have been confirmed, so the billing is one name for now. Any additions will most likely surface on the same channels that carry the ticket link.

Mea Culpa itself is part of the draw. The 35 11th Rd spot runs a garden, a rooftop and a main floor, which gives promoters room to shape the night however the crowd fills. Food and drinks are served on site, so you can make a full afternoon and evening of it. The room leans intimate to mid-size, the sort of space where a producer’s details actually come through.

Tickets and Practical Details

The catch is that no ticket link or pricing has gone live yet, with the date now two weeks away. Past Mea Culpa events have sold through Quicket, but nothing confirms this one follows that route, so we’re treating the platform as unconfirmed rather than guessing.

• Tickets: price TBA, not on sale at the time of writing
• Platform: TBA, though previous Mea Culpa events used Quicket
• Door sales: unconfirmed

Practical side, Kew sits between the Johannesburg CBD and Sandton with quick access off the M1. The venue hasn’t published door times or an age limit for this one, and parking details haven’t been released either. Ride-hailing is the safer bet if you plan on staying until close.

Word on this date has been quiet so far. SculpturedMusic’s own feed has been focused on the wider album run rather than a big Johannesburg push, which suggests the local announcement is still building. Anyone keen should follow SculpturedMusic on X and Mea Culpa on Instagram, because those two channels will almost certainly carry the ticket drop first.

If soulful, percussion-led house is your lane, this is a rare chance to hear Playhouse in a room built for it rather than a stadium. Save the date for September 26 and check the artist’s pages this week, since ticket details are the one piece still missing.
