In 1990, De Burgh was the only international artist invited by then German chancellor Helmut Kohl to perform at the historic public celebrations marking the reunification of East and West Germany.
On his new album, De Burgh addresses many of the themes that have coloured his musical agenda: love, war, adventure, travel, discovery and home-coming. The songs offer insight into the imagination of one of pop music’s most accomplished songwriters.
Musically, A Better World will feel familiar to any De Burgh fan: pop ballads sit alongside rock anthems, solo performances with a band and orchestral ensemble pieces, carrying on the unique musical footprint the singer has created for himself.
Tickets for this tour – which also marks the 25th anniversary of De Burgh’s first tour of South Africa – are selling quickly, so head over to www.bigconcerts.co.za or Computicket to book.
