Williams will join Green Day and other rock bands at the fast-growing local leg of the international music festival.
WORLD-renowned musician Robbie Williams will be rocking with his South African fans again come January 2025.
The multi-award-winning British pop star has been announced as the headline act for the first day of the “Calabash South Africa 2025” music festival.
Set to take place on January 18, 2025, at the FNB Stadium, Joburg, and on January 22, 2025, at the DHL Stadium, Cape Town, Williams joins Grammy-award-winning rock band, Green Day, who will also be making their way to perform in South Africa for the first time.
With an impressive track record including 18 Brit Awards, six of the “Top 100 best-selling albums in British history”, a staggering 80 million album sales worldwide, and 14 No.1 singles, Williams has solidified his place in music history.
