Following the success achieved in more than 150 cities worldwide, Fever’s unique live music multisensory experience will place in unique locations across the country
Fever, the live entertainment discovery platform known for helping millions of people find the best experiences in their cities, launches Candlelight® in Johannesburg, kicking off with performances featuring tributes to Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, Coldplay, and Queen from January 2025. The expansion into the region comes on the heels of the experience’s success, having delighted audiences in more than 150 cities worldwide, including Cape Town, New York, London, Madrid, Paris, Singapore, and Tokyo.
Beginning on January 19th, the Theatre On The Square of Sandton will be illuminated by thousands of candles, allowing audiences to fully immerse themselves in adapted musical performances played by local musicians. Featuring works from Vivaldi and including tributes to Queen or Coldplay, Candlelight was launched in 2019 to democratize access to classical music. The series of shows invites a broader audience that might have never considered a classical music concert before to connect with the most iconic pieces of the greatest composers and listen to the top hits of well-known artists differently.
This concept is renowned for taking classical performances beyond traditional concert halls, transforming unique venues that are part of each city’s cultural heritage with a globally renowned intimate and immersive candlelit setting. From modern rooftops with stunning views to iconic cathedrals and palaces, Candlelight has been held in a variety of idyllic locations, including renowned venues like the Atomium in Belgium, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah in Dubai. This international concert series spans several cities across the Americas, Africa, Oceania, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
Fever constantly strives to inspire its users with innovative experiences, coming up with and producing new 'Fever Original' ideas. Besides Candlelight, these include The Queen's Ball: A Bridgerton Experience, Stranger Things: The Experience, Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience, and Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience. Disney’s The Magic Box, a musical developed by Disney Theatrical Group and presented in association with Fever, after recently extending its runs in Cape Town, will launch in Johannesburg on November 20th. The show weaves together beloved Disney songs, characters, and stories.
