Three-time Grammy award-winning hitmaker, NE-YO, makes his much-anticipated return to South Africa in October. NE-YO will perform live at Grand Arena, Grand West in Cape Town on Saturday, October 17th, and at SunBet Arena in Pretoria on Sunday, October 18th as part of his exciting international tour.
With NE-YO’s illustrious music catalogue (which includes his latest single, ‘Miss Tundra’), he has generated a combined total of 23 billion streams worldwide and a strong South African fan base – audiences are in for unforgettable shows. In 2005, NE-YO’s ‘So Sick’ hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified quadruple-platinum. Since then, he has earned a collection of global hits including ‘Sexy Love’, ‘Closer’, ‘Because of You’, ‘Miss Independent’ and ‘Push Back’ featuring Bebe Rexha and Stefflon Don.
NE-YO has also proven to be as powerful with his pen as he is in the recording studio and on stage, penning much-loved hits like Rihanna’s ‘Unfaithful’, ‘Russian Roulette’ and ‘Take a Bow’ – along with Beyoncé’s 2006 breakup anthem ‘Irreplaceable’ and songs for artists such as Jennifer Hudson, Usher, Carrie Underwood, Celine Dion and Mario, among others.
The multi-hyphenate artist has also leveraged his platform as a musician to pivot into acting. His film and television credits include STARZ’s ‘BMF’, NBC’s ‘World of Dance’, Netflix’s ‘Dance Monsters’, ‘Empire’, ‘Stomp the Yard’, ‘Save the Last Dance’, ‘Battle: Los Angeles’, George Lucas’ ‘Red Tails’, ‘The Wiz Live!’, STARZ’s ‘Step Up: High Water’, ‘Hip Hop Family Christmas Wedding’ and ‘The Sound of Christmas’. NE-YO is currently gearing up to explore a new musical frontier and preparing to release his country-inspired album, “Highway 79” on July 10th.
Says Vertex Events’ Executive Director, Thato Segaole, “Giving the audiences a chance to experience a talented and respected artist such as NE-YO is a great pleasure for our team. We look forward to producing live shows of a great stature that will create endless talkability. Our vision to bring timeless music to the fans will once again happen with hard work, dedication and precision – so get your tickets now”.
NE-YO Live In South Africa will bring fans together for a celebration of timeless music.
