After shows in Johannesburg and Cape Town, Nasty C has officially launched the 7th edition of the Ivyson Tour, its first pan-African iteration – with the plan to bring the tour to cities across the continent.
Starting Friday, July 11, fans can head to TOORLY, the world’s first fan-driven global live events platform, to request the Ivyson Tour to their city.
But fan input doesn’t end there – Nasty C is also letting his fans shape the show by suggesting special guest performers and local support acts, and requesting Ivyson Gaming to be part of their city’s tour experience.
“I get booked at shows across Africa all the time, but now it’s time to bring the full Ivyson experience to the continent. The Ivyson Tour is my baby, that’s where I bring out all my toys”, Nasty C shared.
Fans that already requested during the Qualifier round that went live earlier this year can update their Request to suggest artists and gaming.
Named in tribute to his late mother Ivy—hence the name “Ivy’s Son”—the Ivyson Tour is Nasty C’s platform for an intimate connection with his fans.
Different from regular bookings, he performs songs on the tour that “are not necessarily singles, songs that I hold close to my chest, and that the fans really love and relate to,” Nasty C explained.
The fan-driven concept is part of a bold new direction for the Ivyson Tour in 2025, and the artist’s team and TOORLY worked together closely for many months to bring Nasty C’s vision to life.
For the first time ever, fans have the opportunity to co-create the tour routing and give their input on where the tour should land.
Some unexpected potential tour stops have already emerged, Freetown in Sierra Leone being one of them – but also places way closer to home, such as Potchefstroom and East London that both rank in the Top 5 most requested cities.
The Qualifier Round 1 process began in March, when fans were first invited to request Nasty C to their city on TOORLY, sparking fierce competition across over 40 cities.
Harare, which hit over 200 requests in Round 1, made it into Round 2, bringing the Ivyson Tour one step closer to making a stop in Zimbabwe.
Other cities officially included in Round 2 are Abuja, Bloemfontein, Durban, East London, Freetown, Gaborone, Lusaka, Mbabane, Potchefstroom, Pretoria, the Vaal and Windhoek. Any African city, including Bulawayo, can still qualify for the tour if fans really put their weight behind it.
Zimbabwean Ivysons can Request the Ivyson Tour to Harare or Bulawayo on TOORLY and get one step closer to turning the dream into reality.
