Local opening acts announced for Ben Howard’s SA tour

Cape Town - With a killer Glastonbury set under his belt and only two weeks to go before his first ever South African gig, Ben Howard’s tour to our country just got even better with two incredible local support acts now confirmed.

The one-time journalist, avid surfer and incredible musician will be joined on stage by Bye Beneco for both cities and Farryl Purkiss during his Johannesburg show.

Fans who are yet to purchase tickets for the shows happening in Cape Town at the Grand Arena, GrandWest on 22 and 23 July and in Johannesburg on 25 Julyat Zoo Lake, are encouraged to do so soonest, as tickets are selling out fast.
