Tyla is a South African singer known for blending amapiano, R&B and pop, who broke through internationally with her 2023 single "Water" and went on to win the first-ever Grammy for Best African Music Performance. She had planned a tour in 2024 but had to cancel it after an injury, so this announcement marks her first major run of live dates since then.
The tour is tied to her new album, A*POP, and is being described as her biggest push into North America yet, alongside dates across Europe and Africa. It is set to run from October through to January, taking in cities such as Paris, London, Chicago and Los Angeles, before ending in her home city of Johannesburg.
