The long-awaited return of Lefra Productions’ Country Spectacular to Carnival City’s Big Top Arena has been confirmed for June 18.
The show brings together an unrivalled gathering of the legends of South African country music and a new generation of country singers in one of the largest country shows ever.
Building on the success of the previous Country Legends and Friends, legends such as Lance James, Tommy Dell, Barbara Ray and Jody Wayne will be joined by their friends, Manie Jackson, Cheree, Chantel Williams, Nadine Burness, Jason Bradley, Maritza, Sandy Lee, Alwyn Oberholster and The Rodeo Girls in an extravaganza that will establish these artists once again as legends and legends-to-be in the country music world.
A special tribute will also be paid to legendary country singer, Kenny Rogers.
Frans Swart, producer of the Country Spectacular at Carnival City, as well as all the previous concerts, said he always knew country music was still very popular in South Africa.
“The American country legend Charley Pride once remarked that ‘it isn’t reasonable to expect that everyone in the world is a country music fan’ and added ‘not yet, anyway.’
“The runaway success of the previous Country Legends and Friends concerts proves that not only is country music still extremely popular, but its fan base is also ever-growing,” said Swart.
“The support of the public surprised even me … it was wonderful to have the shows sell out weeks ahead of the time, and the concerts were incredible.
“Combining the legends with the new voices in the industry was simply the next logical step after the first two Country Legends concerts were completely sold out, and that is why we have decided to return with a new concert to Carnival City.”
The revelry will kick-off at 7pm.
