JOHANNESBURG – British singer, songwriter and guitarist, Joan Armatrading, will play two dates at Monte Casino in July as part of her last ever world tour.
Armatrading, who has released over 20 albums and has been awarded the coveted Ivor Novello Award as well as receiving multiple Grammy and Brit award nominations, announced that she will play the Johannesburg venue on 10 and 11 July.
“I will never retire but this will be the last major tour that I will undertake. For the first time these concerts will be me solo on stage playing the guitar, piano and singing. I want these concerts to be a special lively interactive one-to-one experience. I have absolutely enjoyed the last 42 years of performances but now, with my final major tour, I want to capture a unique memory for both myself and the audience,” Armatrading said in statement.
The shows will be at The Teatro at Monte Casino and tickets can be bought at Computicket or at the Monte Casino box office. Tickets cost between R450-R650.
