Universal Records have just announced that his DVD sales in South Africa have reached multi-platinum status, something very few international artists have ever achieved and will be presenting André Rieu with a special award during his Sun City performance.
“It is with great pride that we will be able to present Andre with a multi-platinum sales award when he returns to South Africa this week. By multi-platinum I mean 15 times platinum! This equates to sales of 300 000 DVDs in South Africa. This is a huge milestone for any artist to reach and is a great achievement,” said Chris Venter, head of strategic marketing at Universal Music.
André Rieu and the Johann Strauss Orchestra will kick off their South African tour at the Sun City Super Bowl between 24 and 27 April and will be staging one show in Durban on 28 April before performing three shows in Cape Town from 1 to 3 May, 2010.
Bookings for all the shows, including the latest additions at Sun City and Cape Town, are open and tickets are still available via Computicket (www.computicket.com).
