Live – best known for such 1990s rock hits as I Alone, Selling the Drama and The Dolphin’s Cry – is back on the road and on their way to South Africa!

It is said that the band will return to South Africa in celebration of the 25th anniversary of their iconic album, Throwing Copper in November 2020.

As one of the most successful and enduring alternative bands of the last thirty years, Live has a catalogue featuring some of alternative rock’s most iconic hits, many of which have been responsible for shaping the musical landscape for alternative rock around the globe.

The last time Live performed in South Africa, they performed to sold-out shows. Now, fans are in for an extra treat with 2020 ticket prices remaining unchanged, selling for the same price as their 2017 tour.

“Fans of Live have always shown incredible support when this band tours SA,” says AMP owner Andy Mac. “Tickets sell-out in record time. Every time. The decision to keep ticket prices at 2017 level is our way of thanking the fans for always having our backs and supporting us in our vision for more Rock n Roll in South Africa. Being able to bring bands with a legacy, such as Live, is the reason I started AMP Events in the first place, and I can’t wait to see them back on stage!”.

The original line-up of Live is Ed Kowalczyk (vocals, guitar), Chad Taylor (guitar, backing vocals), Patrick Dahlheimer (bass) and Chad Gracey (drums, percussion).
