Tyla announces first A*POP World Tour with two South African homecoming shows

The two-time Grammy winner will perform across Europe, North America and Africa before returning home for two South African concerts.

Tyla has announced her first headline A*POP World Tour, confirming a 34-date run across Europe, North America and Africa before returning home for two South African concerts in January 2027.

The announcement follows Tyla’s biggest international week yet, when she shared the stage with Shakira and became the first South African artist to headline an NBA or WNBA All-Star halftime show.

It also marks another milestone for Africa’s youngest Grammy winner.

The two-time Grammy winner will conclude the tour with homecoming performances in Cape Town and Johannesburg after months of performing on some of the world’s biggest stages.

Tyla’s A*POP World Tour spans four continents

The A*POP World Tour opens at Zénith Paris on October 12, 2026 before travelling through major cities across Europe, including Amsterdam, London, Glasgow, Manchester, Brussels, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Berlin, Stockholm, Oslo and Copenhagen.

The North American leg begins on November 12 in Wheatland, California, before continuing through San Francisco, Vancouver, Seattle, Denver, Chicago, Boston, Toronto, Brooklyn, Washington, Tampa, Atlanta, Irving, Houston, Austin, Phoenix, San Diego, Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

After a stop in Lagos, Nigeria, on December 22, Tyla returns home for the tour finale with concerts in:

  • January 4, 2027 – Cape Town, South Africa (Venue TBA)
  • January 9, 2027 – Johannesburg, South Africa (Venue TBA)

The dates mark Tyla’s first full headline tour across the UK, Europe, North America and Africa, following her 2025 We Wanna Party tour across Asia.

Last week’s release of her 14-track A*POP album paved the way for the tour announcement. The record includes CHANEL, IS IT, IS IT LOVE and SHE DID IT AGAIN, featuring Zara Larsson.

World Cup and WNBA appearances set the stage for the tour

The A*POP World Tour follows a string of international milestones that have elevated Tyla’s global profile.

Last month, she joined Katy Perry, Future, Shakira and other international artists at the 2026 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony in the United States.

Days later, Tyla became the first South African artist to headline an WNBA All-Star halftime show at the AT&T WNBA All-Star Game in Chicago.

Those appearances, together with her new album, set the stage for her biggest headline tour to date.
