Australian singer-songwriter Ziggy Alberts makes his debut in Mzansi as part of his ‘Rewind Tour’.
After a number of requests from fans, Alberts finally gave in to the call to visit SA for a live performance.
He is known for songs like “Laps Around The Sun”, “Gone”, “Runaway”, “Heaven”, “Love Me Now”, “Stronger”, and “Four Feet in the Forest”, among other award-winning tracks.
The long-awaited tour includes three date performances in Durban, Johannesburg and Cape Town.
He said: “I've had many messages over the years from South African listeners asking me to come over, and play shows and it feels so good to be finally doing it.
“I'm planning a slightly more acoustic intimate show - it's going to be special. I'm super excited and can't wait to meet everyone.”
Alberts' visit also forms part of the release of his forthcoming six studio album called “Dancing In the Dark”, coming out on November 4.

Songs on his latest album include “Believe”, “Tattoos”, “The Great Divide” and “The Sun & The Sea”, featuring Donovan Woods.
The new record sits in a genre, self-titled by Alberts as “Future Folk”.
He said: “The album is a blend of the honest and raw, with the smoothness and touch of synthesised soundscapes, intentional tuning and programmed organic samples that reflect accurately the range of experiences we are having as humans in our current world.”
