Tyla is taking her new record onto the road: days after releasing her sophomore album, the South African singer announced a transcontinental tour that will take her from Paris to cities across North America and back to Africa. The A*Pop World Tour marks a major expansion of her live schedule and underscores her rising global profile.
What the tour looks like
The run spans 34 dates and opens in France on Oct. 12. The European leg includes several major capitals before the singer crosses the Atlantic for a month-long North American stretch. The itinerary finishes with a short African run early next year, bringing Tyla back to stages in her home region.
Tour highlights include stops in Amsterdam, London, Brussels and Stockholm in Europe. In North America, she will begin performances on Nov. 12 in Wheatland, California, and will visit Vancouver (B.C.), Chicago, Boston, New York City, San Diego and Las Vegas. The final shows are scheduled for Lagos, Cape Town and Johannesburg.
- Tour start: Oct. 12 — Paris
- North America begins: Nov. 12 — Wheatland, Calif.
- African dates: Lagos; Cape Town; Johannesburg — early 2027

Timing and significance
This announcement arrives immediately after the release of Tyla’s second album, which has already drawn attention from awards circuits and streaming audiences. For fans, the tour is the first opportunity to hear the new material live in many of these cities — and for Tyla, it represents a step up to sustained international headlining status.
Industry observers note that global tours by artists from Africa are becoming more common as demand for diverse pop acts grows. While this schedule is primarily a concert series, it also acts as a career milestone: broader touring often helps artists reach new markets and cement long-term international careers.

Tickets will be available through the usual channels. The earliest access comes via the artist presale on Wednesday, July 29, followed by a general public sale on Friday, July 31. Fans should consult Tyla’s official site for venue-specific policies, VIP packages and accessibility information.
