Smokie is coming to town

The band will tour South Africa from September 26 to October 6 as part of their Take a Minute World Tour and will perform at Carnival City on October 4 and 5.

With chart-topping hits like Living Next Door to Alice, Lay Back in the Arms of Someone, Mexican Girl, For a Few Dollars, Needles and Pins and If You Think You Know How to Love Me Smokie is one of the most popular bands in the world today.

As part of their Take a Minute World Tour, Smokie will, inter alia, be visiting Moscow, Sweden, UK, Germany, Ireland, Austria, Norway, Spain, Denmark, Greenland, Scandinavia, Australia and South Africa.

Look at the Guinness Book of Hit Singles and you could be forgiven for thinking Smokie’s success story was a 1970’s phenomenon; after all, 11 of their 14 British hits came in that eventful musical decade.

However, their massive success story has continued to flourish around the globe, including Scandinavia, South Africa, Germany and even China.

Frans Swart, CEO of Lefra Productions and promoter of the SA tour, said he is very excited about Smokie visiting South Africa again.

“We organised two previous Smokie tours to South Africa a few years back and they were sold out successes, with many extra shows that had to be scheduled.,” said Swart..
