Bobby van Jaarsveld and Gerhard Steyn join The Parlotones


SAMA Award winning Afrikaans pop artist, Bobby van Jaarsveld, and multi platinum-selling singer, Gerhard Steyn, are billed to perform with internationally-acclaimed rock band, The Parlotones, in concert at Carnival City on Friday, 10 October 2014.
The two talented performers replace electro-pop duo, Locnville (LCNVL), who regretfully had to cancel their performance at the event.
The Parlotones will headline the concert, performing a rocking two hour set. Fans are set to get “up close and personal” with the four-member band which has achieved multiplatinum-selling status in South Africa and gained global popularity touring the world. The show – a Thikho Events Initiative – will feature the band’s chart-topping hits like “Push Me To The Floor”.
“We are absolutely thrilled to have the uber-popular Parlotones on our stage this spring and we are buoyed by the news that they will be joined by two of South Africa’s most popular Afrikaans pop performers. Music fans are getting three top acts in one awesome show. The concert promises something for everyone, with authentic South African pop and rock combining for this spectacular musical event,” says Jaco Saaiman, the Entertainment Manager at Carnival City.

Voted by the public as “Cosmopolitan’s Sexiest man” in 2011, van Jaarsveld is certain to have the ladies swooning as he performs songs like “Spieeltjie”, “n Vrou wil dit hoor”, “Net vir Jou”, and “Kyk waar is ons nou”.
Since bursting onto the music scene in 2006 with his first gold-selling album Duisend Ure and winning the Best Newcomer Award at the Huisegenoot Temp Awards, van Jaarsveld has entrenched himself as one of the country’s best-loved Afrikaans pop artists.
Regularly performing in intimate shows at venues across the country and at some of South Africa’s biggest music festivals, van Jaarsveld has also shown his versatility as an all-round entertainer. He played the male lead in the Afrikaans cinema sell-out success, Liefling, in 2010, and also starred in the Afrikaans film, As Jy Sing, which was released at the end of 2013.
Steyn’s fans can look forward to hearing some of the hits that have made him a household name in South Africa, including his catchy song, “Baby Tjoklits” and “Hart se Mure”.
Tickets are available through Computicket and range in price from R185 to R285. The show will kick off at 19h00 at Carnival City’s Big Top Arena. People who booked for the original Redefined event, featuring The Parlotones and LCNVL, will have their tickets honoured at this show.
