Blue, the iconic British boy band, has officially rescheduled their much-anticipated South African tour to October 2025.

The group will now perform at the SunBet Arena, Time Square, on 14 October.

BLUE’S ANNIVERSARY TOUR

All previously purchased tickets remain valid for the new date, so fans can rest easy knowing their spot is secure.

The announcement comes as part of Blue’s massive 20th anniversary tour, a celebration of two decades of chart-topping hits and performances, according to Sun International.

This will be the first time Blue will grace local stages, and the excitement is palpable.

“We can’t wait to finally perform for our South African fans,” said band member Simon Webbe. “You’ve been waiting a long time. We promise it’s going to be a night you’ll never forget.”

THE BAND’S CAREER

Blue burst onto the global music scene in the early 2000s, quickly becoming one of the UK’s top-selling bands.

Their string of hits includes All Rise, U Make Me Wanna, Breathe Guilty, and their Elton John collaboration Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word. The latter dominated radio and dance floors around the world.

For some South Africans, these songs are more than just catchy tunes-they’re the soundtrack to a generation.

TICKET PRICES

The SunBet Arena is set to come alive with nostalgia, energy, and Blue’s signature harmonies. Doors open at 6 pm, and with the band’s loyal following, tickets are expected to sell fast.

Prices range from R350 (about £15) for general standing to R850 (about £36) for premium seating. The tiered pricing means early birds can snap up the best deals.

If you already have a ticket, you don’t need to do anything. Your ticket will be honoured on the new date. Organisers have assured fans that all arrangements will carry over, making the transition as smooth as possible.

BLUE’S MESSAGE FOR SOUTH AFRICA

As the countdown begins, excitement is building across the country. “We’re ready to bring the house down,” said band member Lee Ryan.

“South Africa, you’ve waited long enough. Let’s make this a night to remember!” Don’t miss your chance to be part of Blue’s historic first South African concert.
