Tyla just made our Monday a whole lot better. The South African pop star dropped her second album *A*POP* on July 24, and now she’s following it up with a massive 34-date world tour. The trek kicks off October 12 in Paris and runs through Europe, the UK, North America, and ends with two homecoming shows in Johannesburg on January 8 and 9, 2027. UK fans can catch her in London, Glasgow, and Manchester in mid-October.
Here’s the ticket lowdown: artist pre-sale starts July 29, and general sale opens July 31. If you want to see Tyla bring her amapiano-infused pop to the stage, you’ll want to move fast. This is her first full headline tour across these regions, and after her show-stopping FIFA World Cup performance with Katy Perry, anticipation is sky-high.
Not everyone is totally on board with the album, though. NME called *A*POP* a “surprisingly cautious follow-up” that “falls short of earning top marks.” But Tyla has collabs with Zara Larsson on “She Did It Again” and a loyal fanbase that’s ready to pack arenas. Do you think the critics are wrong? Are you planning to grab tickets? Let us know in the comments.
