A time warp of ’70s disco dancefloor thrillers and timeless heartfelt rock ballads are coming to Johannesburg early next year in the world-renowned tribute concert experience: The Bee Gees Night Fever.
Brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb began the band The Bee Gees in the ’60s as Australia’s answer to The Beatles and in the ’70s were the inspiration behind the global passion for disco-driven music.
Today no party is complete without them and no night out on the town can end without hearing at least one of their harmony-laden tracks.
Their music is timeless and fans around the world crave the opportunity to hear their songs performed live.

Australia’s Zachary Coombs will take on the role of the king of falsetto – Barry Gibb – emulating the eldest brother’s unique singing style.
