Two-time Grammy Award winner Tyla has confirmed that South Africa will be the final stop on her global APOP Tour, following the release of her second studio album, APOP.
The album was released on 24 July and marks Tyla’s first full-length project since her self-titled debut album. It blends Amapiano, Afrobeats, pop and R&B, continuing the signature sound that has helped establish her as one of South Africa’s biggest international music stars.
The “Water” hitmaker announced the tour on Instagram, where she has more than 13 million followers. The world tour begins in Paris, France, on 12 October and concludes in South Africa in January 2027.
During the tour, Tyla will perform across Europe, North America and Africa, with stops in countries including the United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Nigeria and several cities across the United States.
South African fans will have two opportunities to see the singer perform. She is scheduled to perform in Cape Town on 4 January 2027 before ending the tour in her hometown of Johannesburg on 9 January 2027.
The announcement comes after a landmark few years for the Johannesburg-born artist. Tyla made history in 2024 by becoming the first South African solo artist in decades to achieve major global chart success with “Water”, which also earned her two Grammy Awards and helped introduce amapiano to a wider international audience.
Tickets for the tour are available through TylaWorld.com.
