The legendary group Roxette will perform at GrandWest’s Grand Arena on Wednesday, 26 February, led by frontman, songwriter, and founder Per Gessle and the Roxette band. They will be joined on stage by Swedish singer and megastar Lena Philipsson. 

It’s a little more than five years since Roxette lost Marie Fredriksson to cancer. A devastating loss that left family, friends and fans in grief, their legacy of songs has continued to thrive, being streamed, played and enjoyed by old and new supporters around the world. Some of their biggest hits include “It Must Have Been Love”, “The Look”, Joyride” and “Dressed For Success”. This massive catalogue, all penned by Gessle, will be the foundation of an incredible live performance to wow South African audiences before the tour heads to Australia.

Doors open at 7pm, and the show begins at 8pm. Tickets are available only from Ticketmaster and Big Concerts, priced from R800 to R2 845.

American dream pop band Cigarettes After Sex, one of the most globally accomplished acts across any genre, will be bringing their X’s World Tour to Cape Town on Monday 4 March and Tuesday 5 March.

Cigarettes After Sex was formed in El Paso, Texas, in 2008 by Greg Gonzalez. The band is known for their ethereal, limerent and often dream-like musical style, lyrics often based on the themes of romance and love, as well as Gonzalez’s voice, which has been described as “androgynous”. While marketed as an ambient pop band, Cigarettes After Sex are also considered to be shoegaze, slowcore and indie rock.

The band’s debut extended play (EP), I., was released in 2012, with the song “Nothing’s Gonna Hurt You Baby” eventually becoming a sleeper hit through commercial licensing. After the release of the standalone single “Affection” in 2015, the band released their self-titled debut studio album in 2017 to positive reviews. The second Cigarettes After Sex studio album, Cry, followed in 2019. The band’s third album, X’s, was released on July 12, 2024.

Tickets, from R855, are available via Ticketmaster, and the show begins at 8.30pm. For complete tour and ticket information visit www.bigconcerts.co.za
