Other International Artists Performing in South Africa
Westlife is joining other international artists who are billed to perform in South Africa this year. Canadian singer-songwriter Tamia is set to kick off her South African tour on July 4 at the Grand Arena, GrandWest, in Cape Town, before moving on to the Durban ICC on July 7 and concluding her tour on July 8 at the SunBet Arena, Time Square, in Pretoria. In 2019, Tamia visited South Africa to promote her studio album, “Passion Like Fire.”
Connecting with People through Music
Tamia shared with Sowetan her love for music and how it allows her to connect with people in an intimate way. “The one good thing that I feel blessed about is that I am doing something that I love and I get to connect with people through music and be on stage and see people laughing, crying, hugging, and dancing,” she said. “You feel like you have gone through these experiences with people, and that it is such an intimate thing and which is a blessing.”
South Africa is proving to be a popular destination for international artists, and with Westlife’s The Wild Dreams Tour and Tamia’s South African tour, music lovers in the country are in for a treat.
