MBABANE – Stream fanatics brace yourselves for a fantastic festive!
Global livestreamers, IShowSpeed has released a short trailer on his social media pages of his upcoming African tour. Dubbed ‘Speed Does Africa Tour’. The tour will see IShowSpeed pass through about 20 countries in 28 days, with stops in Eg-ypt, Kenya, Eswatini, Ghana, Nigeria, Morocco, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia and Algeria.
At just 20 years old, IShowSpeed is taking livestreaming to the next level with his most adventurous project yet. The highly popular YouTube and Twitch star announced his month-long tour through the continent of Africa that mixes real-time travel, fan interaction and unfiltered cultural discovery.
During a recent broadcast, he teased what viewers can expect, saying: “Y’all boys better get ready cause this is it, I’m doing a lot of crazy stuff, bro. We are doing a lot of crazy stuff. I am not even gonna spoil it. We back streaming, man,” he said, that promise alone has fuelled massive online buzz.
Speed is known for turning chaos, curiosity and raw reaction into viral moments and has his sights set on Africa in what may become one of the largest streams of creator-driven travel ever. With millions expected to tune in every day, the tour is not about fun, but it is about visibility, connection and a side of global travel that rarely features on livestream culture.
The tour officially begins on December 29, with daily livestreams starting at 7am. ET across YouTube and Twitch. ET. The project also illustrates the increasing significance of long-form livestream travel as an important storytelling tool for the big brands, backed by Expedia.
Coming off the ‘Speed Does America Tour’ and world tours he has run on Europe, Asia, South America and Oceania, this Africa run seems like a natural but larger evolution. If the show’s history is anything to go by, then massive crowds, viral clips and cultural squabbles are virtually guaranteed.
