Tyla announces 2027 SA dates for A*POP World Tour

The 34-date global tour will begin in Paris on 12 October before travelling through Europe and the UK, with scheduled stops in cities including Amsterdam, London, Brussels and Stockholm. The North American leg will start on 12 November at Hard Rock Live in Wheatland, California, and include performances in Vancouver, Chicago, Boston, Brooklyn and San Diego before concluding in Las Vegas on 19 December.

Tyla will then perform in Africa, with a date in Lagos planned for December, although the venue has yet to be announced. The tour will continue to South Africa for two concerts: at Green Point Track in Cape Town on 4 January 2027 and at the Expo Centre in Nasrec, Johannesburg, on 9 January. The South African dates are being presented by Showtime Management and Anything Goes.

The tour marks Tyla’s first full headline tour across North America, Europe, the UK and Africa. It follows her 2025 We Wanna Party Tour, which included sold-out performances in Japan, the United Arab Emirates and South Africa.

The tour announcement comes shortly after the release of A*POP, a 14-track album featuring singles including ‘CHANEL’, ‘IS IT’, ‘SHE DID IT AGAIN’ and ‘IS IT LOVE’.

Tyla has also maintained a busy international performance schedule around the album's release. On 24 July, she performed at Rockefeller Plaza as part of The Today Show's Citi Summerstage, where she performed ‘WATER’, ‘IS IT LOVE’, ‘THAT GIRL’ and ‘CHANEL’. She also spoke to the programme’s hosts about the album and its global rollout.

Earlier, she performed during the halftime show at the 2026 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game in Chicago, delivering performances of ‘CHANEL’, ‘WATER’ and ‘SHE DID IT AGAIN’. The appearance made her the first international artist to headline the WNBA All-Star Game halftime show in its 30-year history.

Tyla has also partnered with Vevo for an Official Live Performance of ‘IS IT LOVE’, while the Vevo music video for ‘SHE DID IT AGAIN’, featuring Swedish singer Zara Larsson, has also been released.

Tickets for the South African shows will go on sale through an artist pre-sale on 29 July at 10am local time, followed by the general sale on 31 July at 10am. The concerts are open to audiences aged six and above, although children cannot attend without an accompanying adult.

The South African dates will mark Tyla’s return home following the international expansion of her career, bringing the A*POP era to audiences in the country where her global rise began.
