According to the artist's own website and to various other reports around the local media, sites, forums and blogs, following in the footsteps of the likes of Sir Elton John and Rod Stewart, American singer, Whitney Houston is to play at the Campo de Golf Costa Adeje during her global "I Look To You" tour in 2010.
The date given is April 30th, 2010.
But this is Tenerife ... Regular readers will remember that when sources on the island were first touting the Elton John concert, enquiries with the artist's own people revealed that he had no knowledge of the event.
Nevertheless, the concert did, eventually, go ahead.
In this case, since the source of the information is Houston's own site, is it safe to assume that the information is correct? You'd imagine so, wouldn't you?
Except that, in true Tenerife fashion, there is yet another report in today's Diario de Avisos, saying that management at the Costa Adeje Golf course have told that paper they have "no official knowledge" of the concert. The club's director says that they were approached about the possibility a few weeks ago, but that was as far as matters were taken.
We suggest not holding your breath and watching this space! ![]()
UPDATE: There's a change of venue for the big concert (well, there's a surprise?) to the Santa Cruz Quayside. Tickets will run from 40 to 300 Euros (a whole lot less, as I predicted, than prices for concerts in the UK). More details on ticket sales to follow. Source: Tenerife Magazine.
UPDATE 30/01/10: Tickets for the Whitney Houston concert in Tenerife are now available through General Tickets / CajaCanarias.
