Posted April 8, 20241 yr © Provided by SA People British musician Robbie Williams will be returning to South Africa in early 2025 for Calabash South Africa. However, confirmation of the news on Monday left a number of fans upset. Organisers of the music festival confirmed at the same time that Calabash South Africa would now be taking place over two days in both Cape Town and Johannesburg. That represents a change from this year’s event which was a one-night affair in both cities. Williams will headline what is now Night 1 in both Johannesburg (18 January 2025) and Cape Town (22 January 2025). The remainder of the acts on Night 1 will be announced in due course. As previously announced, rock band Green Day will headline what is now Night 2 on 19 January 2025 in Johannesburg and 23 January 2025 in Cape Town. Additional acts for Night 2 include The Offspring and Fokofpolisiekar. Fans who rushed out last month to buy tickets for what they assumed was to be the only night in both Johannesburg or Cape Town, will now have to purchase a second ticket if they wish to watch Robbie Williams perform live. Ticket prices for the popular event run into thousands of rands. Tickets for Night 1 will go on sale on Friday, 12 April on the Ticketmaster website. Tickets for Night 2 are already available for purchase. https://www.msn.com/en-us/music/news/robbie...025/ar-BB1lhgrD maybe there ill be South America 2025 at the end, too?

In a statement from the ABC confirming his performance, Robbie gushed: 'I love and adore Australia, and the Sydney fireworks are truly magical.

He said he was 'gutted' he wasn't able to attend the premiere of his biopic, which is slated for release on Boxing Day. Robbie is hoping to return Down Under once again to attend the AACTA Awards, where his satirical musical biopic has cleaned up with a huge 16 nominations. The biopic sees Robbie narrate a fictionalised version of his life, tracing his epic journey to stardom from boy band heart-throb to stadium rocker. Despite Robbie rising to fame in the UK, the film was shot in Melbourne with iconic locations such as London's Royal Albert Hall being recreated in the Australian city. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/artic...lebrations.html Edited December 21, 2024Dec 21 by Sydney11
