Seven years have passed since Saron Gas left our shores to become a chart-topping rock band the world knows as Seether. In June 2008, they are coming home.

South African fans haven't seen the full band live since the first My Coke Fest concerts with Metallica in 2006. This past festive season front-man Shaun Morgan Welgemoed performed a few intimate acoustic shows and promised to return with the full band. True to Welgemoed's word Seether are returning to play four shows across South Africa.

"I love coming back to SA to play shows," said Welgemoed.

"I always feel so proud walking out onto a stage with SA fans in front of me. It's a different audience. It's very powerful. It's very emotional performing back home. I love it."

Seether's South African dates kick off two days after a European tour including Germany's Rock am Ring Festival and the main stage at England's Download Festival.

Dates:

15 June 2008, Grand West Arena - Cape Town
16 June 2008, Standard Bank Arena – Johannesburg
20 June 2008, The Wave House - Durban
21 June 2008, UPE Sport Center – Port Elizabeth

Tickets will be available from Computicket from 15 May.
