Soulful musician H.E.R  is headed to South Africa in December, joining an increasing list of international acts finally taking the time to come to the motherland.

Hey Neighbour, a new three-day musical festival, took to its social media to announce the singer-songwriter and multiple Grammy Award winner Gabriella Sarmiento Wilson, better known by her stage name H.E.R, will join their line-up as a headline act.

The festival is scheduled to run from December 8 to 10 2023, at the Legends Adventure Farm in Pretoria.

Tickets will be available through Ticketpro starting on May 19.

There must be something in the air that's making international artists flock to Mzansi's shores, with the latest, Irish boy band Westlife, proving this is the year of concerts. 

The band is heading this way later this year with The Wild Dreams Tour but are making only two pit stops. 

They were the soundtrack to many lives in the 1990s and 2000s with hits such as Mandy, Flying Without Wings, Coast to Coast and Queen Of My Heart. 

Westlife started their journey in music in 1998 and consists of Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Shane Filan and Mark Feehily.

Westlife joins Bryan Adams, Deborah Cox and Musiq Soulchild, Boys II Men and Tamia who are billed to perform this year.

Tamia is set to kick off her South African tour on July 4 at the Grand Arena, GrandWest, in Cape Town, move to KwaZulu-Natal on July 7 to perform at the Durban ICC and conclude her tour on July 8 at the SunBet Arena, Time Square, in Pretoria.
