The wait is over, darlings! The day everyone’s been counting down to — especially those lucky enough to snag tickets — has officially arrived.

Somizi’s much-hyped Shades of Pink extravaganza is happening this Saturday, 30 August 2025, at Emperors Palace, and guess what? It’s completely SOLD OUT!

For months, Somizi has been teasing fans on social media, dropping hints, sharing updates, and keeping everyone on their toes about ticket availability. One minute they were selling fast, the next—poof!—gone! Now, with the big day finally here, the superstar took to Instagram to confirm what many had already suspected: Shades of Pink is a full house!

But wait—there’s more! This isn’t just any event. Somizi has teamed up with some of the biggest names in the game to bring the magic to life, including @smirnoffsa, @icebogroup, @nono_events, @gregs_exclusivewhite, @allgoldsa, @krispykreme_za, @emperors_palace, @NickLux, and @nicholasmaweni.

And when it came to sharing the big SOLD OUT moment, Somizi didn’t hold back. Captioning the exciting announcement on his Instagram, here’s what he had to say:

“Our sweet partner for #somizishadesofpink@krispykreme_za thanks @djzinhle @moozlie for the plug see u on Saturday. Btw it’s a SOLD OUT CONCERT NEH,” he wrote.
