Tyla is five days from the North American leg of her biggest headline tour yet. The A*POP World Tour opens on 12 November 2026 at Hard Rock Live in Wheatland, California, and runs through 19 cities before the South African singer takes it home to Africa.
Tyla broke through with "Water", the amapiano-flavoured single that won the first Grammy for Best African Music Performance. A*POP, her second album, came out on 24 July 2026 through FAX Records and Epic Records. It has 14 tracks and the singles "CHANEL", "IS IT", "SHE DID IT AGAIN" and "IS IT LOVE".

The tour is presented by Live Nation and has 34 dates in total. Europe and the UK ran through October, wrapping in Copenhagen on 1 November. The US and Canada come next:
- 12 November: Wheatland, California (Hard Rock Live)

Then home
The African dates are the ones to circle. Tyla plays Lagos on 22 December, with the venue still to be announced by local promoters. She then plays Cape Town on 4 January 2027 at Green Point Track and Johannesburg on 9 January 2027 at the Expo Centre in Nasrec.
The Lagos show is a notable one: Nigeria's Afrobeats scene and South Africa's amapiano scene have fed each other for years, and Tyla's sound sits right on that line. Tickets for the tour went on sale in regional waves from late July, and we have not seen ticket prices published for these dates, so check your local Live Nation or promoter page before you buy.
