[full]Smash hit US rock band The Fray have confirmed two South African tour dates.
The band will perform live in Johannesburg on September 19, 2014 at the Coca-Cola Dome and September 20, 2014 at the Grand Arena, GrandWest Cape Town.
Tickets go on sale for Johannesburg and Cape Town on Friday March 28, 2014 from Big Concerts and Computicket.
The Fray is made up of Isaac Slade, Joe King on guitar and vocals, Dave Welsh on guitar and Ben Wysocki on drums.
The Denver-based foursome formed in 2002 after high school friends Slade and King bumped into each other at the local guitar shop.
The band achieved national success with their first single Over My Head, which became a top ten hit in the US, but the release of their second single How To Save A Life brought them into the worldwide spotlight going double platinum and earning a 2010 Grammy nomination for their self titled release.[/full]

The Fray’s latest single Love Don’t Die, received critical acclaim from Billboard Magazine and is currently on the KIA Top 40 on 94.7 Highveld Stereo and 94.5 KFM.
Helios follows the band’s 2012 release Scars and Stories which garnered widespread praise and was produced by Brenden O’Brian who has worked with the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam and Rage Against the Machine.
This will be the first time The Fray has performed in South Africa and fans will be treated to a concert of all their hits and more.
