Popular boy band Westlife are set to join a host of other international and local artists in a charity concert in Johannesburg next month.
Westlife will perform together with Christina Aguilera, Diana Ross and violinist Lucia Micarelli at the Coca-Cola Dome, Northgate, on November 4.
The international multi-platinum-award-winning band have already performed in South Africa twice, most recently in March this year.
The Unite of the Stars gala banquet will be in support of four charities: the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund, Unite against Hunger, St Mary’s hospital and the Topsy Foundation.
The concert, described by the presenters — 94.7 Highveld Stereo and M-Net — as the Rolls Royce of corporate functions, will see artists such as Danny K, Debra Cox, Nianell, Heinz Winckler and the Soweto Gospel Choir joining Westlife, Aguilera, Ross and Micarelli on stage.
The charity concert is one of many events taking place in South Africa during the Altech South Africa Grand Prix week. — Sapa
