Acclaimed British singer and songwriter JP Cooper arrives in South Africa this week for his debut tour of the country. JP will be performing in South Africa for the first time in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban. The dates are part of JP Cooper’s first-ever World Tour – a major milestone for the singer.
Speaking about this new chapter in his career JP says: “Being on stage has never been a comfortable place for me. The time, energy and mental preparation it has taken me in the past to get out on tour has sometimes been overwhelming, but coming out of lock down and getting back out on the road over the last few months has reminded me how special it was being in a room with you all. Seeing people smile, cry and sing along again has really helped to change my perspective on live performance, so I’m super happy to announce my South African tour. Album 3 is currently under construction so we might have to leak some for you so you can sing along to these new songs.”
JP’s soulful voice has graced two of the biggest and most enduring Top 5 singles of the last few years; Jonas Blue’s memorable “Perfect Strangers”, which Cooper also co-wrote, and his inescapable and enduring radio hit “September Song” (which has racked up over 850 million streams worldwide). The Manchester born troubadour Cooper has an incredible 1.5 million ADJ Global album sales, an extraordinary 5.5 billion total global streams, fueled by his devoted 9 million monthly Spotify listeners. In addition to over 135,000 radio plays across 250 radio stations and sold out UK, European and US tours.
