On Friday, 26 December 2025, the enchanting light festival held at the grounds of Abraham Kriel Children’s Home will welcome Irene-Louise van Wyk as one of its standout performers.

With the festival’s season spanning from 28 November through to 31 December, this late-December performance promises to be a highlight in a festive period already rich in music, family fun and community spirit.

A Voice Rooted in Afrikaans Music

Irene-Louise van Wyk is an Afrikaans singer with a track record of multiple number-one hits, hailing from Pretoria East where she has lived her whole life. Music runs in her blood: her mother was the late singer Irene van Wyk and her father, Louis van Wyk, is a well-known music promoter.

Her discography reveals singles such as “Daai Tipe Dans”, “Voete Jeuk” and “Jan Asseblief”,released into 2024 and 2025, demonstrating both consistency and growth in her craft. As such, she offers a dynamic presence: combining professional experience with fresh-faced contemporary appeal.

Her Fit with LiggieFees@Potch

Since 2022, LiggieFees@Potch has evolved beyond mere festive lighting into a full-scale community festival: combining illuminated displays, food-markets, family-friendly entertainment and a charitable purpose supporting the children’s home. Irene-Louise's slot on 26 December is particularly apt for several reasons:

She offers a substantial artist profile, one that elevates the festival’s music line-up and draws in attendees who appreciate well-crafted Afrikaans music.

Her musical style (rooted in melody, accessible lyrics and strong vocal presence) is well suited to a mixed audience of families, festival-goers and music-fans.

The date, 26 December, falls at a time when the holiday spirit is high, visitors are in relaxed mode and the festival’s light installations can sparkle at their best.

What to Expect from Her Performance

Visitors to Irene’s set can anticipate:

A selection of her hit songs and newer releases, likely to include tracks such as “Jan Asseblief”, “Voete Jeuk” and possibly material from her 2025 output.

A performance style that blends connection and energy: Irene’s experience means she can craft moments of reflection and upbeat engagement, fitting for a festive outdoor show.

A festival-friendly format: Given the setting (open-air, lights, families), expect songs that invite sing-along, dancing and communal enjoyment rather than highly niche or introspective pieces.

Amplified ambience: The lights of the festival will enhance the live show, creating a moment where music and visual spectacle combine into an immersive experience.
