Francois van Coke and Arno Carstens on stage together
Two legendary South African artists, Francois van Coke and Arno Carstens, come together for a rocking, one-night-only show at Carnival City’s Big Top Arena on February 24.
Van Coke’s fans can look forward to seeing him perform new material from his album Hierdie Is Die Lewe.
Van Coke is the lead singer of Fokofpolisiekar and Van Coke Kartel.
During his 13-year career as lead singer of these Afrikaans rock bands, he has released nine full length albums, three EPs and collaborated with likes of Jack Parow, Die Antwoord, Die Heuwels Fantasties, Seether (Shaun Morgan) and Karen Zoid.
He has received four South African Music Awards (SAMA) and numerous other awards.
Carstens has released 12 albums; five as lead singer of Springbok Nude Girls, one as part of Electronica project Bhelltower and six as a solo artist.
He’s had over 20 top ten singles and won five SAMAs including Best Rock Album in 2004 for Another Universe and Best Adult Contemporary Album in 2006 for The Hello Goodbye Boys.
In September 2016, Carstens released his debut Afrikaans album and to honour his roots, called it Die Aandblom 13.
Thirteen tracks that tell loosely fact based stories about who he is and where he’s come from; he grew up in Worcester at Aandblom Straat 13, and still goes there as often as possible.
The show kicks off at 8pm.
