ARNO CARSTENS & ALBERT FROST: LIFE IS FOREVER TOUR

Two of South Africa’s most celebrated musical talents, Arno Carstens and Albert Frost, reunite again this August. Long-time friends and collaborators, Arno and Albert are hitting the road together once again for a powerful and intimate series of shows under the banner of ‘Life is Forever’.

Having shared countless stages during the recording and touring of Arno’s acclaimed albums Another Universe and The Hello Goodbye Boys, Albert Frost was not only the principal guitarist on both records, but also a vital creative partner. Their musical chemistry—marked by a shared melodic instinct, rhythmic synergy, and a good dose of humour—has resonated with fans across the country.

“I believe that at the core we share a similar melodic and rhythmical feel for music. And a sense of humour,” says Arno.

This double-header tour promises an unforgettable night of music, featuring solo performances from both artists, as well as special on-stage collaborations that dive deep into their rich musical history.

From chart-topping hits to beloved deep cuts, fans can expect a dynamic set that spans decades of artistry.

Arno Carstens, former frontman of the iconic Springbok Nude Girls, has become a household name with a string of award-winning solo albums and countless sold-out shows. Albert Frost, known for his masterful guitar work and deep roots in the blues-rock scene, has toured extensively and played with

South Africa’s finest, including a legendary 21-year stint with the Blues Broers.

Don’t miss this rare chance to see two icons on one stage—together again, at last.
