Mike + The Mechanics will be bringing their &lsquo;Looking Back - Living The Years 2025 Tour&rsquo; to South Africa in 2025. Another Big Concerts Experience, in association with KFM 94.5 and Powered by Hot 102.7 FM.
&nbsp;
Following the tremendous success of the 'Refuelled! Tour' in 2023, the band is hitting the road once again. The tour kicks off at the Grand Arena, GrandWest, Cape Town on Thursday, 30th January 2025, then heads to the SunBet Arena, Time Square, Pretoria on Saturday 1st of February 2025, followed by 30 concerts in the United Kingdom. The tour will see them play their unforgettable hits including &lsquo;Over My Shoulder&rsquo;, &lsquo;The Living Years&rsquo; and &lsquo;All I Need Is A Miracle&rsquo; as well as drift into some of Genesis&rsquo;s much-loved classic tracks.
&nbsp;
Mike Rutherford says &ldquo;It&rsquo;s exciting to announce that we will be touring The Mechanics again. Getting back on the road with the guys last year was a real pleasure. Even though it had been four years, we slotted back into the old ways, the old jokes and the camaraderie like it had been a day! We had so much fun on the last tour and the audiences were so gracious and warm, when we played the final show in Dusseldorf we all agreed then that we wanted to do it all again. We can&rsquo;t wait to see you.&rdquo;
&nbsp;
Originally formed in 1985 by Mike Rutherford &ldquo;as a side project to Genesis&rdquo;, Mike + The Mechanics originally featured Paul Young and Paul Carrack as frontmen, and together, they achieved huge commercial success throughout the 80s and 90s achieving number ones all over the world and going on to sell over 10 million albums. After Paul Young&rsquo;s sudden death in 2000 the band released one further album before deciding to call it a day. In 2011, Mike started writing songs again and invited Roachford and Howar to join him and their chemistry was instant. They released &lsquo;The Road&rsquo; album and the band began touring again with huge success, and have remained together since.

It&rsquo;s almost five years ago since Roxette lost Marie Fredriksson to cancer. A devastating loss that left both family, friends and fans in grief.
&nbsp;
Their legacy of songs has continued to thrive, being constantly streamed, played and enjoyed by old and new supporters around the world.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
2025 will see a live revival of this massive catalogue, all penned by Per Gessle, when he takes the Roxette band back on stage to do what he loves the most; perform his songs live in front of a dedicated audience.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Per and the Roxette band will be joined on stage by Swedish singer and megastar Ms Lena Philipsson.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Per says:&nbsp;&ldquo;This is all about my Roxette songs, this huge bundle of music and lyrics I&rsquo;ve been writing for well over three decades. I&rsquo;m not starting a new duo. Marie will always be irreplaceable. However, I&rsquo;m really lucky to have found an amazing voice and a brilliant performer in Lena Philipsson.
&nbsp;
I co-wrote Lena&rsquo;s first major hit back in 1986 and she&rsquo;s one of the brightest shining stars Sweden has ever known. I&rsquo;m extremely proud she wants to join me in my trek to keep the Roxette legacy alive.&rdquo;
&nbsp;
Lena says: &ldquo;I&rsquo;m both excited and thrilled about embarking on this tour. I really look forward to working with Per &ndash; he is a phenomenal songwriter and a neverending musical force.&rdquo;
&nbsp;
The Roxette band will consist of Christoffer Lundquist, Magnus B&ouml;rjeson, Magnus &ldquo;Norpan&rdquo; Eriksson, Dea Norberg as well as original Roxette icons Clarence &Ouml;fwerman and Jonas Isacsson. Nine years since the last tour, &ldquo;Roxette in Concert&rdquo; will kick off in Cape Town, South Africa.

Ten years ago, Greg Gonzalez was having a really rough Valentine&rsquo;s Day. Freshly heartbroken with no hope of reconciliation, he spent two hours driving from his hometown El Paso to play a show, and he listened to Sade&rsquo;s &ldquo;By Your Side&rdquo; on repeat both ways. &ldquo;The experience that day stuck in my bones&mdash;it was an idea that I couldn&rsquo;t forget,&rdquo; says Gonzalez, the frontman of Cigarettes After Sex. &ldquo;I thought, how do I make a record that feels like that?&nbsp;
&nbsp;
&ldquo;Filled with raw, imagistic, sometimes smutty vignettes set to entrancing, slow-burn pop songs, Gonzalez knows how to capture every emotion a romantic arc inspires. But where previous albums have drawn from an amalgam of relationships, for the most part, his anticipated third album &lsquo;X&rsquo;s&rsquo; centralizes on just one relationship that spanned four years. &ldquo;The record feels brutal,&rdquo; admits Gonzalez. &ldquo;I could sit and talk about this loss to someone, but that wouldn&rsquo;t scratch the surface. I have to really write about it, sing about it, have the music, and then I can start to analyze and learn from it. Or just relive it&mdash;in a good way. I don&rsquo;t have that Eternal Sunshine-thing of wanting to forget.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
&ldquo;This period was one of immense personal growth for Gonzalez, but it was also during these years that Cigarettes After Sex&mdash;completed by drummer Jacob Tomsky and bassist Randall Miller&mdash;hit staggering new levels in their career, transitioning from a preeminent indie act to one of the most globally accomplished acts across any genre.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
And still, Cigarettes After Sex maintain their mystique, fans sharing their music like an illicit secret and this poignant ten-song collection will certainly stoke the flames. While continuing to observe classic pop song structures, Gonzalez has moved away from the prior sonic touchstones of the &lsquo;50s and &lsquo;60s, finding himself now drawn to a &lsquo;70s/&rsquo;80s slow dance. While (in typical Cigarettes style) these changes&nbsp;may be subtle, the overall resulting energy is akin todisco ball-refracted tears on the dance floor.

Lauren Daigle is a 2x Grammy&reg;, 7x Billboard Music, 4x American Music, and 12x GMA Dove Award winner, but the numbers only tell half the story. Since her GRAMMY&reg; Award-winning, 2x platinum album Look Up Child (2018), featuring the unforgettable 6x platinum anthem &ldquo;You Say,&rdquo; Lauren&rsquo;s music has been an unstoppable force on the charts. When Look Up Child debuted at No. 3 on the Top 200 Albums chart, she became the first female artist ever to break into the Top 10 on both Billboard&rsquo;s Pop and Christian Album charts&mdash;a history-making moment that stunned fans and critics alike.
&nbsp;
With her recent self-titled album, nominated for yet another GRAMMY&reg;, and its lead single, &ldquo;Thank God I Do,&rdquo; Lauren scored her 6th Billboard No. 1, pushing her to over a billion streams. Yet for Lauren, success is about something greater: giving back. In 2018, she launched The Price Fund, a foundation with a mission close to her heart&mdash; serving at-risk youth, children, and the elderly.
&nbsp;
Thanks to her dedication, The Price Fund has distributed nearly $3.5 million to nonprofits worldwide, making waves of change wherever it touches.
