‘My family and I always feel very welcome’ — Ronan Keating on performing in SA

Ronan Keating has arrived in South Africa ahead of a two concert tour in the country..

The Irish singer is set to perform at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens in Cape Town on March 3, where he'll have South-Africa based English Martin Gill as a supporting act, and at SunBet Arena, Time Square in Pretoria on March 5 with Lee Cole.

"I was in SA last year and as ever, it was a great trip. I’m lucky to have been to SA many times over the years. It’s a stunning country and my family and I always feel very welcome. It’s great this time to be coming back with my band to do live gigs in Cape Town and Pretoria. I can’t wait," he told TshisaLIVE.

Ronan comes to Mzansi every year for a fundraising event with Citadel and Gary Player, and he's excited to have them on board for his show. 

"I feel very privileged to call Gary Player a friend and to have the chance to raise funds together to benefit the Red Cross Children’s Hospital and the Blair Atholl School.

"Citadel have been very generous supporters of the golf day and charity gala t we will be hosting again this year and I’m thrilled they’re the supporting sponsor for my live shows too."

The When You Say Nothing At All hitmaker said his fans can expect to watch him perform music from when he was with his former music group Boyzone and hit songs from his solo career.

"I’ll be playing all the songs they’ll want to hear from my solo career and my time in Boyzone. I’ve got a great band I’ve played with for many years so we’ll have a lot of fun."
