The tour will celebrate his upcoming EP,&nbsp;Never Thought I Could, set to showcase his signature heartfelt storytelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fresh off the success of his platinum-selling debut EP&nbsp;Seasons&nbsp;and chart-topping singles \u201cHigh\u201d and \u201cHigher,\u201d Lloyiso is bringing his powerful vocals and emotionally charged performances to six major European cities this year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Belgium, Brussels \u2013 Botanique<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Netherlands, Amsterdam \u2013 Bitterzoet<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Germany, Berlin \u2013 Lido<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>United Kingdom, London<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Norway, Oslo<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This tour follows an extraordinary 2024 for Lloyiso, which saw him headline and sell out&nbsp;The Elephant in the Room Tour&nbsp;in South Africa, drawing over 15,000 fans across five cities. The release of&nbsp;Scary&nbsp;follows a milestone collaboration earlier this year with&nbsp;Clean Bandit&nbsp;on their single&nbsp;Believe, which showcased Lloyiso\u2019s soaring vocals on a global stage and further cemented his status as one of the most exciting soulful-pop voices to emerge from Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lloyiso\u2019s star continues to rise globally: his debut EP&nbsp;Seasons&nbsp;went 6x Platinum and won him the&nbsp;South African Music Award for Best Pop Album, while his collaboration with Martin Garrix on the dance-pop smash&nbsp;Real Love&nbsp;surpassed&nbsp;100 million streams.

It speaks to moments of doubt, growth, and finding strength when I didn\u2019t think I had it. Mental health is something we don\u2019t talk about enough, and this project is my way of opening up about those struggles while also celebrating the victories, big and small. Taking this music across Europe feels like another step in doing something I never thought I could.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With his soaring vocals, emotive songwriting, and undeniable stage presence, the&nbsp;Never Thought I Could&nbsp;Europe Tour promises to be an unmissable experience. Scary is out now on all streaming platforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Johannesburg, 07 October 2025 \u2013 South African singer-songwriter and global sensation&nbsp;Lloyiso&nbsp;has announced his highly anticipated&nbsp;European Tour, marking another&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6612,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6613","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-freshmen"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/freshmenmag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6613","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/freshmenmag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/freshmenmag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freshmenmag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freshmenmag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6613"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/freshmenmag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6613\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6614,"href":"https:\/\/freshmenmag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6613\/revisions\/6614"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freshmenmag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6612"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/freshmenmag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6613"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freshmenmag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6613"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freshmenmag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6613"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
