South African singer-songwriter Tyla has confirmed two homecoming concerts for January 2027 as part of her A*POP World Tour, supporting her second studio album A*POP, released on 24 July via FAX and Epic Records.

The 34-date global tour opens in Paris on 12 October and will visit cities across Europe and the UK, including Amsterdam, London, Brussels and Stockholm, before a North American leg that begins on 12 November at Hard Rock Live in Wheatland, California. Stops in Vancouver, Chicago, Boston, Brooklyn and San Diego follow, with the North American run concluding in Las Vegas on 19 December.

South African Dates and Ticket Information

The tour will reach the continent in December with a performance in Lagos, Nigeria, at a venue still to be announced. Two South African shows, presented by Showtime Management and Anything Goes, are scheduled for early 2027:

  • Cape Town: 4 January 2027, Green Point Track
  • Johannesburg: 9 January 2027, Expo Centre, Nasrec

An artist pre-sale for the South African dates begins on 29 July at 10:00 local time, followed by the general on-sale on 31 July at 10:00. The concerts are open to attendees aged six and older; children must be accompanied by an adult.

Album and Recent Appearances

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

A*POP is a 14-track album featuring the singles ‘CHANEL’, ‘IS IT’, ‘SHE DID IT AGAIN’ and ‘IS IT LOVE’. On 24 July, Tyla performed at Rockefeller Plaza as part of the Citi Summerstage on NBC’s Today show, where she played ‘WATER’, ‘IS IT LOVE’, ‘THAT GIRL’ and ‘CHANEL’ and discussed the album’s global release.

Earlier, she delivered the halftime show at the 2026 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game in Chicago, performing ‘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 music video for ‘SHE DID IT AGAIN’, featuring Swedish singer Zara Larsson, has been released.

The South African concerts mark Tyla’s return to the country where her career began, bringing the A*POP era to local audiences.
