2020 Francois van Coke & Vriende will take place via livestream

Francois van Coke explains: “This show has become a yearly highlight for us and we won’t let the pandemic stop us. I turn 40 on 18 September and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate my birthday than sharing a stage with my friends and to do what I love most.”

Since the first Francois van Coke & Vriende concert kicked off in 2018 at Sun Arena in Pretoria, it quickly became a highlight with Francois’ fans and sells out every year. Last year just under 10,000 people attended the concert.

Francois van Coke & Vriende aren’t just good friends and co-artists, they have also all co-written songs with Van Coke in the past. It has become a tradition for Van Coke to co-write, record and release songs with ‘new’ friends in the build-up to the big event every year.
