In his first visit to SA in more than two years, queer superstar Nakhane will be performing at Constitution Hill in Johannesburg on the 21st of May 2022 for the I AM LIVE concert.
After a forced hiatus due to the Global Pandemic, promoters Bassline Live are welcoming Nakhane back to home soil and onto the live stage, to entrance, excite and entertain fans.
The now London-based performer is excited to return to South Africa. “The last time I was home was just before the pandemic, so it’s been a while. I miss South Africa’s energy,” said Nakhane.”
“That I’ll be playing a show as well, is an even better gift. Thanks to Concerts SA and their partners, the Norwegian Embassy and SAMRO for their support in bringing me home for this special moment,” they added.
Said Paige Holmes of Bassline Live: “Nakhane is truly one of the most extraordinary talents we have ever worked with, and that says a lot, us having been involved in the live music industry for 28 years!”
Nakhane is an award-winning, multi-talented musician, actor, writer and one of the most culturally significant artists to have developed from Africa in recent years. They have been championed by Madonna, Elton John and Black Coffee.
Nakhane has appeared on the front cover of Rolling Stone South Africa and has had incredible coverage in the New York Times, Dazed and Confused, Huffington Post and Vogue, among others.
Brad Holmes of Bassline Live is looking forward to the diverse crowd of quality music lovers that is sure to attend the Constitution Hill concert.
“Nakhane is culturally relevant, appealing to various subcultures, trendsetters, the LGBTQI community, fashion lovers, diversity and inclusion champions and art lovers. We are grateful to our associate partners
