Tyla announces THE A*POP WORLD TOUR: Dates, presales and tickets

Two years ago, “Water” made Tyla the first winner of the Grammy for Best African Music Performance. Now the South African star has a second album, a second Grammy and a world tour built to show that her rise was never about one song.

“THE A*POP WORLD TOUR” supports Tyla’s newly released second album, “A*POP,” a 14-track project that moves between amapiano, pop and R&B while positioning African music at the center of global pop.

The run marks Tyla’s longest North American tour to date. After an injury forced her to cancel a planned world tour in 2024, “THE A*POP WORLD TOUR” feels like both a long-awaited arrival and the beginning of a much bigger live era.

What to expect at a Tyla concert

Tyla’s new album, previous headline shows and recent festival performances offer a strong idea of what this tour could look and sound like. Here is what fans can reasonably expect:

• A new “A*POP” centerpiece: The tour is built around Tyla’s second album, so songs such as “CHANEL,” “IS IT,” “SHE DID IT AGAIN” and “IS IT LOVE” are likely to form a major part of the show. The album expands her signature sound through amapiano, pop, R&B, house and dancehall influences.

• The biggest songs from her debut era: No Tyla show would feel complete without “Water.” Fans can also expect earlier favorites such as “PUSH 2 START,” “Truth or Dare,” “ART,” “Jump” and “Breathe Me,” all of which appeared regularly in Tyla’s recent live performances. Setlists can change once a new album becomes the focus.

• Choreography at the center of the show: Movement is inseparable from Tyla’s music. The “Water” dance became a cultural phenomenon, but her performances extend beyond a single viral routine, combining amapiano-inspired choreography with tightly staged pop presentation. Fans should expect a show designed for dancing rather than a stripped-down vocal performance.

• A fashion-forward visual world: The “A*POP” era has introduced a neon, nostalgic and futuristic identity influenced by early-2000s pop imagery. While the tour’s stage design remains unconfirmed, the album campaign points toward bold styling, distinct visual transitions and several statement looks.

• A mix of intimate rooms and arenas: The North American itinerary moves between ballrooms, theaters and larger arenas. That creates different experiences across the tour, from close-up general-admission energy at venues such as the Aragon Ballroom to full-scale arena staging at stops including Coca-Cola Coliseum, Moody Center and Viejas Arena.
