Die Antwoord Tour 2013 Europe: A Journey of Intensity and Overwhelming Experience

As the news of Die Antwoord's European tour in 2013 spread like wildfire, fans from all over the continent were eagerly waiting for the opportunity to witness the South African rap-rave trio perform live. For some, however, this tour would become a journey of intensity, overwhelming experience, and even a little bit surreal.

It was June 22, 2013, when Yolandi Visser, one half of the duo, reached out to her friend Sparkes via email. Her message read: 'Yo yo yo skull of foxes!!! wats pumpin ur style is on point! Ninja showd me ur tumble blog… i like i like!! he also gun say hi 2 u! will be cool 2 hang & get hi as f- wen i cum 2 aus nxt tym! stay bad! xxx.' The email was a precursor to the whirlwind of communication that would follow in the next few days.

As the tour kicked off, Sparkes found herself receiving up to six emails from Ninja Jones per day. She replied twice, but it seemed like it wasn't enough for him. The correspondence became more intense, with Jones referring to Yolandi as his 'little sister' and basically disassociating their relationship.

Sparkes was overwhelmed by the sudden attention and felt shocked by the intensity of the situation. 'I was quite overwhelmed,' she recalled. 'It all seemed too surreal to grasp what was happening so I was very much in the moment and trying to come off like a cool person.'

The next day, Jones sent Sparkes explicit photos of himself, and it wasn't long before he started sending her insider videos of Die Antwoord with a note that read: 'Just secret k cos u in our clikkkkk xx.' The attention left Sparkes feeling absolutely overwhelmed and shocked.

As the tour continued across Europe, fans were treated to an energetic and unforgettable performance by Die Antwoord. However, for some like Sparkes, this experience was one of intensity, overwhelming experience, and a little bit surreal. Despite the chaos that ensued, Sparkes would later reflect on the journey as a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The 2013 European tour marked a significant milestone in Die Antwoord's career, with fans from all over the continent coming together to witness their unique brand of rap-rave music. For those who attended the shows, it was an unforgettable experience that will be etched in their memories forever.
