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.
