Arno Carstens to open for Bryan Ferry

Springbok Nude Girls Meets Roxy Music!

Big Concerts announced that award winning, singer-songwriter Arno Carstens is confirmed as the support act for Bryan Ferry.

Arno Carstens has released 12 albums; five as lead singer of Springbok Nude Girls, one as part of electronica project Bhelltower and six as a solo artist.  He’s had over 20 top-ten singles and won 5 SAMA Awards, including Best Rock Album in 2004 for Another Universe and Best Adult Contemporary Album in 2006 for The Hello Goodbye Boys. In 2016 he won Song of the Year for Ontwaak, taken off his debut Afrikaans album, Die Aandblom 13, which won a Ghoema for Alternative Album of the Year in 2017.

During his career, Carstens has performed with U2, The Rolling Stones and REM, among many others, headlined every major South African music festival and performed at some of the most legendary and exclusive international music festivals, including Isle of Wight, Glastonbury, V Festival and Hard Rock Calling.

Now, it is Carstens’ chance, to open for Bryan Ferry, when he will be touring South Africa in February 2019.

Ferry began his solo career in 1973. His solo hits included A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall, Let’s Stick Together and This Is Tomorrow.  Ferry’s best-selling album Avalon, released in 1982, saw further release of singles such as Slave to Love and Don’t Stop the Dance, followed by the UK no. 1 album Boys and Girls in 1985. When his sales as a solo artist and as a member of Roxy Music are combined, Ferry has sold over 30 million albums worldwide.

As an artist and musician, Bryan Ferry possesses the rare distinction of being regarded as both classic and timelessly contemporary – an accomplishment achieved by both his recordings with Roxy Music and the range and intensity of his solo albums.

This may be the last chance for South African fans to watch Bryan Ferry live performing all his hits live.
