The SA Idols auditions will be held in March at Carnival City
Carnival City gears up to host SA Idols auditions for emerging singers on March 1 from 8am for Season 11.
This will be the second year that Carnival City has provided a stage for the thousands of hopefuls auditioning for the ever-popular talent competition show.
The auditions will take place at the Big Top Arena.
Contestants who wish to enter Idols SA 11 should be South African citizens between the ages of 16 and 30.
The aspiring superstars are urged to remember to bring their ID documents to the auditions.
Underage contestants have to be accompanied by their parents.
These will be the final auditions in the preliminary leg of the competition as auditions have been taking place in Pretoria, Durban and Cape Town since the end of January.
For over a decade, the South African version of Idols has been one of the country’s biggest shows.
The show’s forte is forging superstars from raw talent and it has consistently launched the boys and girls next door to the top of the pop charts.
From Season One’s Heinz Winckler, to Brandon October, Elvis Blue and Lloyd Cele (who won SAMAs in 2012) to Khaya Mthetwa (who walked away with his first SAMA for his debut album, Move), many previous Idols contenders are carving out rewarding careers for themselves.
SA Idols shattered records in Season 10 last year, with over 20 million votes cast across the duration of the season, a 173% increase on Season Nine figures.
