Changing things up a bit - while performing at his Daisy Jones show on 27 July this year, Linley sent out a TikTok post with his fans in on the action, calling on OneRepublic’s frontman, Ryan Tedder, to let him open for their SA tour. And the rest is history!

“I cannot believe this is actually happening. I’m honestly still pinching myself! I think it’ll only feel real when I actually step on that stage. I think it’s going to be such a fun opportunity and it is one I am extremely grateful for. I’m just so excited! It’s going to be epic!”, says Linley.
