The Britain’s got talent superstar, Calum Scott who took over the world with his hit Dancing on My Own is returning to South Africa in November, and we can’t wait to all be in our feels, in unison.
Calum Scott first toured SA back in 2018 in support of his “Only Human” album, seeing thousands of local fans rushing to experience his incredible live performance. Breakout Events is excited to announce his return to SA, where he will perform in Cape Town, Durban, and Johannesburg. This local tour follows the recent announcement of his headlining summer tour of North America.
Earlier this year, Calum premiered his emotionally empowered new single and video If You Ever Change Your Mind, which was a bittersweet but uplifting reflection on a painful relationship and the third song that Calum has shared from his highly anticipated second album, ‘Bridges’, which will be released on 17 June 2022.
Preceding this and second off the soon to be released new album, his triumphant single Rise — a timely and exhilarating anthem of resilience, which is still in some of SA’s top 20 radio charts today.
Calum also delivered a spirited vocal performance that perfectly captures the uplifting message at the heart of “Rise.” The first single from the upcoming second album, Biblical was his first new music since his full-length debut Only Human — a 2018 release that hit No. 1 on the iTunes album chart in 21 countries and more across the globe, in addition to selling more than 3.6 million in adjusted album sales and amassing over 7.5 billion combined streams. If these latest singles are an indication of the album’s trajectory, we’re in for a soulful journey.
As for the song that put him on the map, Dancing on My Own, his audition song for Britain’s got talent in 2015, quickly charted in over 34 countries on Spotify, peaking at No. 1 on the Viral chart in six weeks, including the U.S. It was the best-selling U.K. single of 2016 by a British solo artist and was nominated for a Brit Award for Best Single. The song has over 2 billion streams globally, while the music video sets its sight on half a billion views.
Only Human was the result of a long, cathartic songwriting journey. The album has already gone 2 x PLATINUM in South Africa, with the single ‘You Are The Reason’ reaching 2 X PLATINUM in SA.
Calum has amassed over 7.5 billion total global streams and still counting, and is now certified platinum or gold in 21 countries and has landed at No. 1 on the iTunes album chart in over 20 countries around the world. To experience his talent in the flesh is unmissable and will echo in memory for those that get to see and hear him live on stage!
Scott’s elegantly sculpted pop centres on his soulful vocals and heartfelt lyrics, exemplified in the gently uplifting single You Are The Reason, aching piano ballad Hotel Room and hit single Rhythm Inside. The singer’s ability to consistently build on his gift for poignant, emotionally charged performances is a sure sign of the lasting impact the Englishman will continue to have on all who hear his voice – soon to be South Africans in person.
