Press — INSITE on the August 2024 South Africa tour
A news piece announcing Jan’s return to South Africa for a three-week tour, following the December tour that started the whole story. The dates ran from 6 to 23 August 2024, with shows confirmed in Pretoria, Secunda, Cape Town, Thabong and Melville, Johannesburg, and a few more places still open at the time of writing.
What the piece covers
The report quotes Jan’s message to his South African and Basotho audience and his reasoning for going back so soon: the first tour could not fit every city that had been discussed, Cape Town chief among them, and August — the end of the southern winter — shows the scene in a different light from the December peak of summer. The plan also included new promoters, different parties, and a three-to-four-day disappearance into Kruger Park. It closes by noting his growing popularity with the South African audience, citing the latest IMS report on the scale of the country’s electronic music listenership.
In his words
“That country lives and breathes deep house; the people are beautiful, the DJs are amazing, and it’s a completely different experience than a typical European party.”
“August marks the end of winter in the southern hemisphere, and the scene is vibrant in a different way compared to December, which is the peak of summer.”
