Singer Lloyiso is set to embark on a South African tour, which starts in June.

The multi-award-winning musician will start his The Elephant In The Room Tour on 8 June at 012 Central in Pretoria, with more shows in Cape Town, Gqeberha, and Johannesburg later in the month.

He will perform in Cape Town on 21 June 2024; tickets for the tour can be bought on Webtickets.

This is his first national headline tour, and the name is derived from his clan name, Ndlovu, which means elephant. Lloyiso was born and raised in Kariega (Uitenhage), Eastern Cape and has earned international recognition, having collaborated with Martin Garrix.

His shows are set to be 90 minutes long and will feature a live band. Along with his established hits, Lloyiso will also perform new material in preparation for his upcoming album. So far, he has released one single from the album I Hate That I Care.

"The Elephant in The Room [Tour] is an offering of my journey so far from the days of auditioning for Idols, recording covers for YouTube all the way to writing my own original music. This show is a piece of my world," Lloyiso told News24.

He added:

Fans can expect a beautiful audio experience that will transport listeners into a world of sonic bliss, and visually captivating all round. I'll be performing all my hits and a few covers.

Lloyiso also said in a press release:

"I'm a very sensitive person by nature. When you listen to me, I hope you get in touch with the same feelings, and you end up crying, smiling, or dancing. I'm just excited to connect on a meaningful level and can't wait to share this live in an intimate setting on this tour."

In 2023, Lloyiso received a South African Music Award in the category of Best Pop Album for his record Seasons.
