Afrikaans stars to fill Carnival City stage

Carnival City’s Mardi Gras Theatre will come alive with the sound of authentic Afrikaans music by an ensemble of South Africa’s best loved artists on February 8.

Taking to the stage for Afrikaans Carnival are Arno Jordaan, Nicholis Louw and Irene-Louise van Wyk.

“True to our promise to give South African artists a platform to showcase their talent and perform for their fans, we bring three of South Africa’s favourite Afrikaans performers to our stage in February. Fans can look forward to a vibrant yet intimate concert featuring new hits and familiar favourites,” says Michelle Smith, marketing manager at Carnival City.

Jordaan is an Afrikaans pop singer who has been on the music scene since 2003 when he was the runner-up in a reality TV talent show on KykNET.

Nicholis Louw is a well known pop and opera singer. His repertoire, primarily in Afrikaans, includes rock, pop, country and music ballads, often incorporating strong classical elements.

Irene-Louise van Wyk released her debut CD, More Than Words, in 2016. The singer and songwriter grew up in Pretoria and was always in the presence of South African and international stars.

Tickets to Afrikaans Carnival are available at Computicket and are priced from R100 a person. The show will kick off at 7pm.
