Just days after releasing her second album, A*Pop, Tyla announced she will take the project on the road for a 34-date world tour this fall. According to Rolling Stone, the run will be her first global headlining tour, with stops across Europe, North America, and Africa.

The European leg opens October 12 in Paris and moves through Amsterdam, London, Brussels, Berlin, Copenhagen, Oslo, and Stockholm, among other cities. North American dates begin November 12 in Wheatland, California, and include stops in Chicago, Boston, New York City, Houston, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas, stretching into mid-December. The final leg launches in Africa at the end of December, with performances in Lagos, Cape Town, and Johannesburg continuing into early 2027.

General ticket sales open Friday, July 31, at 10 a.m. local time. Pre-sales begin Wednesday, July 29, at 10 a.m. local time.

When discussing the making of A*Pop with Rolling Stone earlier, Tyla said, "I just knew that as I lived through the making of the album, it was going to fall into place, which it did. I feel like I just did something really fresh and so Tyla." She added that it made her "feel like a real artist, which is so special…you just only feel the glamour of it all."

The tour announcement builds on a stretch of sustained momentum for the South African singer. In 2024, she won the inaugural Grammy for Best African Music Performance with her track "Water." Last year, "Push 2 Start" earned her a second Grammy in the same category. She also received four nominations at the American Music Awards in May and released the mixtape WWP (We Wanna Party) last July.

The North American leg wraps December 19 in Las Vegas at the Fontainebleau.
