Comprising Urs Buhler (Switzerland), Sebastien Izambard (France), Carlos Marin (Spain) and David Miller (US), the group will share the Sun Arena stage with South African artists such as Freshlyground's lead singer Zolani Mahola, former Blackbyrd member Tarryn Lamb, Dutch soprano singer Amira Willighagen and duo Touch of Class. South African Music Awards-winning group The Voice of Angels will replace Zolani as the guest performer at the Cape Town show.
“People can expect to hear songs from Il Divo’s latest album Timeless, as well as all their great hits of the past 17 years,” concert organiser Charl van Heyningen told Music In Africa. “It will be a super, feel-good and romantic evening with a rhythm section and a live classical string orchestra.
“I am delighted to promote such a huge production to the people of Cape Town. It is a phenomenal show. Il Divo are ecstatic to be returning to SA after their smash-hit, sold-out tour back in 2005. This will be their first return visit to South Africa,” he said.
Il Divo will use the three shows as part of their world tour to celebrate their 15th anniversary in November. South Africa is the only African country listed on the group's tour schedule.
