Soul on Tour Durban edition
The Best of Me hitmaker is set to perform in Durban on Saturday, 28 February as part of his Soul on Tour international tour.
The tour will also visit several cities in the United States, including Missouri, Maryland, New Jersey, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Alabama, North Carolina, and New York.
Hamilton was in South Africa last year for the Women’s Day concert. At the time, he said he had researched what local fans wanted to hear.
“I did my research. I know what Mzansi wants to hear,” he said.
“This show is about love. It’s about understanding what women want to hear. And trust me, they’re in my inbox! They tell me exactly what songs to sing, and I listen.”
He also hinted at a possible collaboration with South African singer Vusi Nova.
“Vusi Nova and I [have] been talking on WhatsApp,” Hamilton said in an interview on Radio 702.
“We may be able to go into the studio. He had reached out to me a while ago, but I was on tour, me and Fantasia, so I didn’t see it at the proper time,” he added.
