Support acts announced for U2's South African shows
U2 will be in South Africa in less than two months, and the support acts have finally been announced.
There will be two support acts, and they will appear at both shows, 13 February 2011 in Johannesburg and 18 February 2011 in Cape Town. One is South African rock band Springbok Nude Girls, and the other is Amadou & Mariam, a duo from Mali who mix African blues with pop music.
Both have quite well established recording careers. In the past, Springbok Nude Girls have opened for a band well known to U2 fans, INXS. Amadou & Mariam, on the other hand, have performed with David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, and they featured at the Kick-off Celebration Concert of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
