THE chance to bring South African rap superstar Nasty C to Harare is now directly in the hands of his Zimbabwean fans.
For the next three weeks, a campaign on the global platform TOORLY will decide if Harare earns a spot on his massive Ivyson Tour. It’s a simple equation: if 250 fans pre-order tickets, the city is officially unlocked as a tour stop.
The demand is already undeniable.
Over 500 fans have previously requested a Harare show on TOORLY, proving a hungry audience awaits Nasty C’s return. This fan-powered initiative turns traditional tour planning on its head.
Instead of relying on vague streaming stats, TOORLY gives artists such as Nasty C real-time, concrete proof of local demand.
This collaborative approach even lets fans help design the concert itself. For the Harare show, local artists such as Voltz JT, Holy Ten, Sane.Wav, and Bhanshee have emerged as top fan choices for support acts.
With general admission tickets starting at an accessible US$2,50, the goal of 250 pre-orders is within easy reach. Nasty C, the multi-platinum, award-winning artist from Durban with over a billion global streams, is known for his mantra: "I never chase the dream, I design it."
Now, Zimbabwean fans have the tools to help design his next dream stop—Harare.

“Fans will be chuffed knowing they helped bring Nasty C to their city,” said Ivyson tour representative and rising artist Benefit Tanaka. Another fan echoed the sentiment, calling it “the most authentic thing an artist has done”.
The bond between Nasty C and his Zimbabwean audience is well-established. He performed in Harare in 2018 and returned in 2019 for the launch of his Francesca album.
He also came to Harare in May 2025 for a free Road to Ivyson concert.
The tour itself is a tribute, named “Ivyson” in honour of the artist’s late mother, Ivy and is designed to establish a more intimate connection with audiences across the continent.
He is known for his chart-topping hits such as Particula,Soft, Said, and Leftie live
Founded by Hong Kong-based industry veteran Jenny Tan, TOORLY was conceived to bring artists to underserved markets by leveraging direct fan input.
“TOORLY has flipped the traditional touring model on its head by giving power to fans — and this is just the beginning,” said Tan, who has over 15 years of experience in emerging markets.
Harare is among a list of candidate cities across Africa, including Abuja, Lusaka, Gaborone, and Windhoek that are vying for a spot on the tour through the same fan-powered process.
Fans can pre-order tickets exclusively on the TOORLY platform.
With only 250 tickets needed to confirm the event, the next two weeks will be a decisive countdown for Harare’s music scene.
TOORLY is the world's first fan-driven global touring platform. It provides artists and their teams with detailed “fan demand analytics” to plan effective tours based on direct fan feedback, moving beyond traditional metrics to create live music experiences where they are most wanted.
