New Johnny Clegg Tribute Show date confirmed

The world is full of strange behaviour
Every man has to be his own saviour
I know I can make it on my own if I try
But I'm searching for a great heart to stand me by
Underneath the African sky
A great heart to stand me by

Johnny Clegg had the special quality of being able to unite people across all backgrounds and generations with his music. His music has always been a beacon of hope and inspiration and in a time when South Africans and the world need it the most, the lyrics to Great Heart stand true.

In a fitting tribute to one of the most iconic figures in South African music history, the Johnny Clegg Tribute Show, featuring some of South Africa’s top performers, has been moved up to the 05th of December, 2020 at the Emmarentia Botanical Gardens (Johannesburg).

Patrons who are already in possession of their tickets must retain them as Computicket will swap them with the new tickets closer to the time. Patrons who have booked online but not yet collected, their tickets will reflect the new date. Patrons who are unable to attend the new date can contact Computicket for a refund ([email protected] for all ticketing enquiries).

Johnny Clegg captured the hearts of a nation and the tribute concert will feature fellow musicians that will commemorate his life and his musical career. There will also be a dance tribute performed by dancers from Zululand and the local hostels.

Johnny Clegg – The Tribute Show will take place on Saturday, 05th December at Emmarentia Botanical Gardens (entrance on Thomas Bowler Street). Gates open at 10h00 with performances commencing at 11h00 – 18h00.

Money will be raised at the event for the Click Foundation, supporting ‘The Friends of Johnny Clegg’ charity which was established with Johnny in December 2018.
