Johannesburg - Irish singer and songwriter Brian McFadden will tour South Africa in November 2018.
The full live tour is titled Brian McFadden - Soul Jam and the British performer will be backed by a full nine-piece band onstage.
While this show will focus largely on his love for old-school soul, it will include many of Westlife’s greatest hits, according to organisers.
The tour will kick off on 16 of November at Platteland, a new venue in Centurion.
Continuing with two shows in Stellenbosch on the 17 and 18 November at the newly built Spier Amphitheatre. With only 650 tickets available, it will be an intimate affair, the lay-out such that every seat in the house guarantees an up close and personal show.
About the tour Brian said: “This is a project I have wanted to do for years. I love old soul and I cannot wait to perform some of the great soul classics in South Africa.”
