Pretoria was the second and last place in South Africa on the tour. South Africa is not a fan of support acts, so there was no support last night either. Doors opened at 18:00 and the show started a couple of minutes after 20:00 local time.
The audience was much more active and loudly cheering already when the gang entered the stage. They had a good time and were singing along, getting up from their seats for quite some songs, not only the uptempo ones, but also during It Must Have Been Love and Listen To Your Heart.
Per had different outfits vs. Cape Town and while in CT he first had black shirt on then changed it to white, in Pretoria he went for the white shirt first and switched it to black for the encore. Lena had a new outfit for the encore. You can see them in the pics and vids below.
Christoffer is doing his „local song” thing before Joyride on this tour as well and the audience loves it.
Setlist was the same as in Cape Town. The difference was that there was only 1 encore, this time Queen Of Rain came right after The Look.
Thanks a lot for all the info, Sandra Knospe!
