Tyla Announces 34‑Date A*POP World Tour in Europe, North America and Africa
South African Grammy‑winning singer Tyla announced a 34‑date global headline tour, the A*POP World Tour, to support her sophomore album A*POP, which was released on 24 July 2026. The tour launches on 12 October 2026 at the Zénith in Paris and will travel through major European cities including Amsterdam, London, Brussels, Berlin, Stockholm and Copenhagen.
The North American leg begins on 12 November 2026 in Wheatland, California and will feature shows in cities such as San Francisco, Vancouver, Chicago, Boston, Brooklyn and Las Vegas before concluding the continent on 19 December 2026 in Las Vegas.
The African segment includes a Lagos concert on 22 December 2026, followed by performances in Cape Town on 4 January 2027 and Johannesburg on 9 January 2027, marking Tyla’s return to her home continent.
Ticket presales opened on 29 July 2026 with general sales starting 31 July 2026. The tour announcement sparked debate in Nigeria, where some social‑media users called for a boycott of the Lagos show in response to alleged xenophobic attacks against Nigerians in South Africa.
