The timeless music and unmistakable soul of Barry White will come alive in Durban as a tribute to the R&B legend takes centre stage at Suncoast Casino on 25 July 2026.

The spectacular production will feature internationally acclaimed tribute artist Jourdan Carroll, affectionately known as Big Daddy Boo Bear, whose striking resemblance, powerful bass voice and stage presence have earned him international recognition as one of the world’s leading Barry White tribute performers.
