Chris de Burgh to tour SA
Chris de Burgh has announced that he will be performing eight shows in South Africa in support of his new album, 'The Hands of Man'. He will play in Joburg on 5,6,8, and 9 April at the Teatro at Montecasino, in Durban on 12 April at the ICC Durban Arena, in Port Elizabeth on 14 and 15 April at the Boardwalk Arena, and in Cape Town on 17 April, 2016, at the Grand Arena, GrandWest.
'Spanish Train and Other Stories' was De Burgh's first major hit in SA and the first single, Just Another Poor Boy, from this album was number one for many weeks. By the time he released 'Man On The Line' in 1981, Chris was a well-established global star and the single from this album, High On Emotion, became a number-one record right across the globe. 1986 saw the release of 'Into The Light,' his most successful record up to that point, which sold in excess of 10 million copies worldwide. It also featured the single Lady In Red, which was number one in 50 countries and is still one of the most played songs on the planet.
After album sales in excess of 50 million Chris de Burgh releases 'The Hands of Man,' his 20th studio album of original material. Recorded both at his home studio in Ireland and at Mark Knopfler's British Grove facility in London, 'The Hands of Man' has once again been produced by Chris Porter and features contributions from the members of Chris' touring band.
As he always does, De Burgh has approached many of the new songs from the perspective of not only how they could be performed on stage but how the audience might react to them in the live arena.
Tickets are on sale from bigconcerts.co.za and Computicket.
