Tyla Announces 34-Date A*Pop World Tour Spanning Europe, North America and Africa

Tyla has announced the APop World Tour, a 34-date run across Europe, North America and Africa that marks her first global headlining tour. The news arrived on July 27, 2026, three days after the release of her second album, APop, on July 24 (Rolling Stone).

Pre-sales open Wednesday, July 29, at 10 a.m. local time, with general on-sale following on Friday, July 31, also at 10 a.m. local time. Fans can register for pre-sale access through Tyla's official website, tylaworld.com, which lists all tour dates and an RSVP option (Rolling Stone; tylaworld.com). Her official EU and UK stores also offer a no-purchase-necessary sign-up for pre-sale access (shopuk.tylaworld.com).

The European leg kicks off on October 12 at Zénith Paris — La Villette, then moves to Amsterdam's AFAS Live on October 13 (NME; Live Nation). From there, the run hits London's O2 Arena on October 15, followed by Brussels, Berlin, Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm (Rolling Stone; NME).

North America takes over on November 12 at Hard Rock Live in Wheatland, California, just north of Sacramento. The routing then moves through San Francisco's Bill Graham Civic Auditorium on November 13, Vancouver's Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre on November 15, and Seattle's WAMU Theater on November 17. November continues with Denver's Fillmore Auditorium (November 20), Chicago's Aragon Ballroom (November 22), Boston's MGM Music Hall at Fenway (November 25), Toronto's Coca-Cola Coliseum (November 26), and Brooklyn Paramount in New York on November 28.

December dates include Washington, DC's The Anthem on December 2, Tampa's Yuengling Center on December 5, and Atlanta's Coca-Cola Roxy on December 6. The Texas stretch hits Irving's Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory (December 9), Houston's 713 Music Hall (December 10), and Austin's Moody Center (December 11). The North American leg wraps on the West Coast: Phoenix's Arizona Financial Theatre (December 14), San Diego's Viejas Arena (December 15), Los Angeles's YouTube Theater (December 16), and Las Vegas's Fontainebleau on December 19 (Rolling Stone).

Africa gets the final leg. Launching at the end of December 2026 and running into early 2027, stops include Lagos, Cape Town and Johannesburg — the continent where Tyla, a Johannesburg native, began her career (Rolling Stone).

The tour follows a rapid rise. Tyla won her first Grammy in 2024 for Best African Music Performance with the track 'Water', then won the same category again with 'Push 2 Start'. In May 2026, she picked up four nominations at the American Music Awards. Between the two Grammys, she released a mixtape titled WWP (We Wanna Party) in July 2025 (Rolling Stone).

Tyla has described the APop* album as "really fresh and so Tyla" and said that making it made her "feel like a real artist" (Rolling Stone). The album is available on vinyl through her official EU store, priced at €29.99 (shopeu.tylaworld.com).

For fans, the A*Pop World Tour is a chance to see a two-time Grammy winner headline rooms she has never headlined before, across three continents, in a single routing. Tickets go live July 31.
