They kick off the tour at 19:30 on September 2 and 15:00 on September 3, at Montecasino, before moving on to Pretoria, KwaZulu-Natal, the Western Cape, and back to Silverstar Casino in Joburg on October 1.

Unforgettable classics like Paradise Road by Joy, Weeping by Bright Blue, and Too Late for Mama by the legendary Brenda Fassie and more, will transport listeners to bygone eras while stirring emotions that are as relevant today, as they were then.

These iconic melodies will be perfectly intertwined with newer South African hits, such as Prime Circle’s infectious Pretty Like the Sun.

Carver’s own chart-toppers, including Home and Empty Fantasy amongst others, will further add to the tapestry of sound, showcasing her talent and the depth of her musical prowess.

“Yes, we have challenges in South Africa. We all acknowledge that. But with Home Tour Live, I wanted to celebrate our unique sound and narrative, using music to uplift spirits and ignite pride in our beautiful country,” Carver said of her tour.
