NATIONAL NEWS - Following the announcement that UK singer/songwriter, Ed Sheeran will be coming to South Africa for the first time, some Durbanites were disappointed that the city was once again overlooked as a concert venue.
And Durban North resident, Jason Liebenberg is one of those bitterly unhappy fans.
As a ‘massive’ Sheeran fan, Liebenberg decided to start a petition to appeal to Big Concerts to add Durban to the tour list.
As it stands, the ‘Perfect’ singer will only be performing at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg on 23 March and the Cape Town Stadium on 27 March 2019.
“It is just frustrating that Durban has once again been left out. Going to concerts you always bump into other Durbanites in the queues, and he is an artist that appeals to young and old, so I have no doubt that if they bring Ed Sheeran to Durban we will have a sold out concert,” he said.
The 29-year-old said it was incredibly expensive for locals to attend concerts as it not only involved the concert tickets but also flights and accommodation.
