Chris Brown shatters records as Johannesburg show sells out in under three hours, additional date added

In an extraordinary display of fan enthusiasm, tickets for American singer Chris Brown’s upcoming concert at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg sold out in less than three hours, packing the 94 700-capacity venue.

The concert, set for 14 December 2024, is part of Brown’s highly anticipated South African tour.

Fans snapped up the tickets as soon as they went live, with excitement building around the American R&B superstar’s return to South African soil.

This level of demand is reminiscent of Justin Bieber’s 2013 performance at the same venue, where tickets also sold out to young fans in mere hours.

However, not all major artists have found the same success in Johannesburg.

Naysayers had drawn comparisons between Brown’s show and the recent controversial Burna Boy concert at FNB Stadium, which struggled with ticket sales and ultimately fell short of filling the venue. 

In response to the overwhelming demand, concert organisers Big Concerts have now added a second date.
