Johannesburg – Uncle Waffles is embarking on an extensive international tour spanning Europe, the United Kingdom, North America and Canada, weeks after making her debut at the MTN Bushfire Festival in Malkerns.
The South African DJ and dancer, who made history as the first female Amapiano act to perform at Coachella, has also graced the cover of Forbes and earned a public endorsement from Beyoncé.
Speaking to journalists at Bushfire, including Swazi24, she said she hoped the tour would bring Amapiano and Afrobeats audiences closer together.
“I feel like the Afrobeats audience is getting warmed up to Amapiano, but they are not solid fans. So hopefully this tour solidifies the massive borders so we can have similar numbers as Afrobeats. Afrobeat is one of the leading genre in the world. So I would really love this tour, I’m able to really convince people that Afrobeat, Amapiano, it’s magnificent for both genre,” she said.
Her “A Ho In These Streets” tour EU and UK dates are as follows:
The North American leg follows in July and August, with shows in Calgary, San Francisco, Vancouver and the Shambhala Music Festival in British Columbia, before she joins Afrobeats star Asake on a major arena tour. The Canada and USA dates are:
