He will also perform at Joburg’s Orlando Stadium on March 21.
Tickets for the concerts on Kelly’s Single Ladies Tour are selling for between R477 and R901 at Computicket. No support acts have been finalised by the singer, songwriter and record producer from Chicago, but a spokesman for the organisers, Afropulse, said yesterday that two KwaZulu-Natal-based solo acts were being considered as support acts for the Durban concert.
