Win tickets to Country Spectacular!
The long-awaited return of Lefra Productions’ Country Spectacular, to Carnival City’s Big Top Arena, has been confirmed for Saturday, June 18.
It 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 that 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’,” Swart said.
“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 ever-growing.
“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 logical next 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.”
Country Spectacular is going to put the country’s most popular country talent on show.
“This year will be a milestone for country”, said Swart.
“We had one goal in mind – to bring the brightest stars in South African country music together in the perfect venue – Carnival City’s Big Top Arena.”
