Calling all aspiring singers

Carnival City is gearing up for the influx of emerging singers, set to descend on the complex for the Gauteng round of auditions for Idols SA season 11.

This will be the second year that Carnival City has provided a stage for the thousands of hopefuls auditioning for the ever-popular talent competition.

The auditions will take place from 8am on March 1 at Carnival City’s Big Top Arena.

Contestants should be South African citizens between the ages of 16 and 30 to enter Idols SA, and South Africa’s aspiring superstars are urged to remember to bring their ID documents to the auditions.

Underage contestants have to be accompanied by their parents.

These will be the final auditions in the preliminary leg of the competition.

Auditions have been taking place in Pretoria, Durban and Cape Town since the end of January.

“We are thrilled to play host to the Idols SA auditions again this year and expect throngs of performers lining up to show the judges what they are made of,” said Michelle Smith, marketing manager for Carnival City.

For over a decade, the South African version of Idols has been one of the country’s biggest shows, always full of spice, scandal and above all, super singing.
