Two-time Grammy-winning global singer and songwriter Tyla has announced THE A*POP World Tour in support of her highly anticipated sophomore studio album, A*POP, which was released on July 24 via FAX and Epic Records.
Exciting news for South African Tygas – Tyla is bringing her tour home to Cape Town and Johannesburg. Presented locally by Showtime Management and Anything Goes, Tyla returns in early 2027 to open the South African leg of the tour at Green Point Track in Cape Town on Monday, January 4, followed by the Expo Centre, Nasrec in Johannesburg on Saturday, January 9.
A Massive Global Trek
The 34-date global tour kicks off on Monday, 12 October 2026 in Paris at Zénith before making stops across Europe and the UK, including Amsterdam, London, Brussels, Stockholm, and more. The North American leg begins on Thursday, 12 November 2026 at Hard Rock Live in Wheatland, CA, with stops in Vancouver, Chicago, Boston, Brooklyn, San Diego, and more before wrapping on Saturday, December 19 at Fontainebleau Las Vegas.
Tyla will then head to Africa for select performances in Lagos in December, culminating in her homecoming concert engagements in South Africa.
The upcoming run follows Tyla’s 2025 We Wanna Party Tour across Asia, which included sold-out performances in Japan and the UAE, alongside a sold-out tour in South Africa. THE A*POP World Tour marks her first full headline tour across North America, Europe, the UK, and Africa.
Inside Tyla’s Sophomore Album ‘A*POP’
The 14-track album A*POP has arrived following a year of intense anticipation. Featuring bonafide hits like “Chanel,” “Is It,” “She Did It Again,” and “Is It Love?”, the project showcases Tyla’s range not just as an African artist, but as a global pop star.
Recent milestones for the superstar include a headlining performance on The Today Show’s Citi Summerstage at Rockefeller Plaza and making history as the first international artist to headline the WNBA All-Star Game halftime show during the 2026 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game in Chicago.
