Yayyyy! British musical duo Lighthouse Family have announced today they will be touring South Africa in March 2020 for the very first time. Joburg your dates are 20th and 21st March at The Teatro Montecasino and Cape Town you are up on 24th March at The Grand Arena at Grand West

Era-defining songs, ten million records sold and twenty-five years’ music-making. Tunde Baiyewu and Paul Tucker formed Lighthouse Family at Newcastle University in the early 1990s. ‘Ocean Drive’, their first album, released in 1995 saw the duo going six times platinum while staying in the album charts for three years selling 2.75 million copies.

In 1997 the duo released their second album ‘Postcards from Heaven’, the album produced three Top 10 singles (‘Raincloud’, ‘High’ and ‘Lost in Space’) and two Top 30 hits. The album also went six-times platinum, charting across Europe, the Far East, Australia and New Zealand, selling 4 million albums globally. Their instantly recognisable sound impacted on musicians as diverse as Geri Halliwell and New Order’s Peter Hook.

Looking back on an intense decade, the pair remember different highpoints. Tucker recalls the pressure to finish their second album while running on fumes after the first album campaign. Baiyewu, meanwhile, a reluctant frontman pushed to the spotlight by his incredible, unmistakable, seemingly effortlessly soulful voice, recalls “countless” moments that demonstrated the uniting, elevating power of ‘Lifted’.

This is the first time that Lighthouse Family will perform in South Africa and fans can expect to hear all their hits!
