Jason Mraz is celebrating the recent release of his new album “YES!” and after a highly successful tour to the USA followed by sold out performances in the East, the Philippines and Australia, this multi-GRAMMY® Award-winning singer and songwriter has announced he will tour South Africa for the first time early next year.

Brought to this country by Showtime Management, the tour includes two concerts at the Teatro at Montecasino on Thursday, 26 February 2015 and Friday, 27 February 2015 followed by one Cape Town concert at Grand Arena, Grand West on 01 March 2015.  The concerts commence at 8pm and feature backing from “YES!” collaborators, Raining Jane.  Booking opens at Computicket on Thursday, 27 November 2014.

One of the world’s hardest working and most beloved artists, Jason Mraz’s journey has propelled him from the San Diego coffee house scene to arena, amphitheatres, and stadiums all over the world. A two-time GRAMMY® Award winner and six-time nominee, Mraz made pop history with his record-breaking classic single, “I’m Yours,” while also earning platinum and multi-platinum certifications in more than 20 countries. Moreover, the San Diego-based troubadour has proven a truly diverse creative presence. A dedicated surfer, farmer/gardener, filmmaker, and photographer, Mraz is first and foremost a committed global citizen. His impassioned social activism and philanthropic efforts span wide-ranging environmental advocacy and ardent support for LGBT equality.  Though it all, Jason Mraz continually confirms and celebrates music’s myriad forms and miraculous power, inspiring and delighting his countless fans around the world he calls home.

“YES!” marks what is perhaps the most unexpected and accomplished collection of this musician’s already extraordinary career. Highlighted by the first single, “Love Someone,” the album – which finds Mraz teaming up with his longtime friends, Raining Jane, who will also accompany him to Johannesburg and Cape Town, debuted #1 on the sales charts in 46 territories around the world.

This year, Mraz made a conscious choice to perform in venues smaller than the usual amphi-theatres and arenas. Mraz now looks forward to getting to South Africa for more personalized shows and to interacting with his fans.
