YET another internatio­nal pop act have announced that they will be performing in South Africa.

Scottish alternativ­e pop-rock band Texas will be here for the very first time this festive season, when they are expected to keep audiences on their feet.

The Summer Son hitmakers will perform in Joburg and Cape Town next month.

The band have kept fans entertaine­d for the last three decades. They have produced chart-toppers such as I Don’t Want A Lover, Say What You Want, Halo, Everyday Now and Tell Me Why.

Fans who attend the iconic band’s concert can expect to hear some of these golden oldies as well as some of their newest hits. The group released an album, Jump On Board, in May. This is their ninth studio album, which features songs like Let’s Work It Out.

Apart from Texas’s performanc­e, concert-goers can look forward to other talented acts which have been added to the bill for the Joburg show.

This includes UK singer-songwriter Emily Capell, who will be performing along with Henry Ate and pop-rock sensation Monark.

Texas were founded in 1986, and although many of the original members have left the band, they are still fronted by Sharleen Spiteri, whose soulful and melodic voice remains an iconic testament to the band’s long-standing success.

The concerts, which are in partnershi­p with radio station Jacaranda, will take place at Cape Town’s Kirstenbos­ch Gardens on December 8.

The band will then move to Montecasin­o in Fourways on December 10. Ticket prices range from R395 for general access, while the golden circle, which has access to a private bar, will set you back R595.

Children under 12 years of age will get in for free.
