South Africa’s biggest TV show powers into its 11th season at the end of January after shattering records in Season 10 last year, with over 20 million votes cast across the duration of the season – a 173% increase on Season 9 figures!
“Viewer response to the historic tenth season of Idols SA was phenomenal,” says Lani Lombard, Head of Publicity at M-Net. “We believe that the new season is going to be a show-stopper as well with surprises lined up from the word ‘go’. It’s exciting to think that the country’s new singing sensation will be somewhere in a long queue at the nationwide auditions.”
Lives will start to change again at the end of this month, when Idols SA Season 11 kicks off with auditions at the State Theatre in Pretoria on Saturday, 31 January, followed by Cape Town auditions on the weekend of Saturday 7 February at GrandWest Casino and Entertainment World, Durban auditions from Saturday 21 February at The Playhouse and the final auditions at Carnival City from Sunday 1 March.
Contestants should be South African citizens between the ages of 16 and 30 to enter Idols SA 11, and South Africa’s aspiring superstars are urged to remember their ID documents at the auditions. Underage contestants have to be accompanied by their parent
