The Grammy-winning singer is scheduled to perform in the city on December 22, although the venue is yet to be announced.

The Lagos concert forms part of the singer’s ambitious 34-date A*POP World Tour, which was unveiled on Monday in support of her sophomore album, A*POP, released on July 24. Presented by Live Nation, the tour marks Tyla’s biggest international outing to date and her first headline run spanning Europe, North America, and Africa.

For fans in Nigeria, the announcement represents another major milestone in Tyla’s rapidly growing career. After spending the last few years building a global audience, the singer is now set to headline some of the world’s biggest cities before returning to the African continent to close out the tour.

The journey begins on October 12 in Paris before making its way through several European destinations, including Amsterdam, London, Glasgow, Manchester, Brussels, Berlin, Stockholm, Oslo and Copenhagen.

From there, Tyla heads to North America, kicking off that leg on November 12 in Sacramento with additional performances scheduled in San Francisco, Vancouver, Chicago, Boston, New York, Houston, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas.

Lagos will serve as the opening stop for the African leg of the tour. Following the Nigerian performance, Tyla is expected to perform in Cape Town on January 4, 2027, before concluding the continental run in Johannesburg on January 9, 2027.

The upcoming tour also signals a significant step up from her previous live outings. While her We Wanna Party Tour in 2025 focused exclusively on Asia, and earlier appearances largely supported promotional activities, the A*POP World Tour is her first full-scale headline tour across multiple continents.

Fans hoping to secure a spot at the Lagos show won’t have to wait long. Artist presale tickets become available on Wednesday, July 29, while general ticket sales begin on Friday, July 31, at 10 a.m. local time, with additional ticketing and tour details available through Tyla’s official platforms.

The 14-track album, which has been teased and coveted for well over a calendar year and sports the bona fide hits “CHANEL,” “IS IT,” “SHE DID IT AGAIN,” and “IS IT LOVE,” is available now. Stream it HERE.

To commemorate the release of the landmark project, TYLA will headline The Today Show’s Citi Summerstage® on Friday, July 24th, in New York City, and will fly to Chicago to headline the 2026 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game halftime show on Saturday, June 25th.

She will be the first international artist to headline the WNBA halftime show in its 28-year history. The appearances cap off a global rollout that has brought A*POP directly to fans around the world. In the lead-up to the release, TYLA hosted a series of intimate fan listening experiences with YouTube in London, Atlanta, and New York, giving fans an exclusive first listen to the album alongside TYLA herself. ‘

She also teamed up with Vevo for the Official Live Performance of “IS IT LOVE” released this week, with more performances from the series set to roll out soon. Watch her performance HERE. Beyond music, TYLA also unveiled her very own Bratz doll this week, marking another major cultural moment for the global superstar.

TYLA formally announced the album tracklist last week on Instagram, where she etched each song of her 14-song tracklist in neon paint during an immersive reveal. It was the latest feather in the cap of what’s been a calculated and explosive rollout that began with the subtle announcement of the album’s title in the video for “CHANEL,” which has now been viewed over 140 million times.

Though the ripple effect of her groundbreaking debut album campaign was still creating waves throughout the industry, TYLA took home her second GRAMMY Award for “PUSH 2 START” earlier this year. TYLA began formally teasing A*POP on this year’s GRAMMY red carpet, where she revealed to Rolling Stone that her efforts had started to galvanise.

“I just knew that as I lived through the making of the album, it was going to fall into place, which it did,” she told the outlet after accepting her second award for “Best African Music Performance.”

With the momentum of 2025’s release of “Chanel” still white-hot, TYLA tapped Zara Larsson for “She Did It Again.” The single release became a global event, debuting on over seven global charts, earning TYLA her fourth Hot 100 chart hit, and becoming a culturally captivating social moment, with hundreds of thousands of TikTok creators dedicated to emulating the vivacious energy TYLA and Zara conjured. Vanity Fair said the duo created “herstory” with the record.

As her next act, TYLA liberated the album’s next single, “Is It Love,” a painstaking romantic ballad that shot to the top of the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats chart, earning TYLA her fourth Afrobeats chart-topper, more than any artist since 2024.

As curiosity for A*POP grew, so did TYLA’s aura. Her third year at the MET Gala was met with widespread enthusiasm.

Following her scene-stealing appearances at the 2024 and 2025 ceremonies, where she donned a nude Balmain dress that prompted VOGUE to call her a “fashion force” and a Barbie-inspired vintage Jacquemus gown that stole global headlines, respectively, TYLA reprised her role as star of the carpet with a peacock-inspired Valentino dress referred to as “bold” by Cosmopolitan, a common theme in TYLA’s career. She would also perform at several high-profile international engagements, including Portugal’s Afro Nation Festival and Romania’s Beach Please!.

TYLA’s debut album campaign, which produced the standard and deluxe edition albums TYLA and TYLA+, launched two years of dominance. Her ability to elevate as an artist and celebrity while maintaining an intimate relationship with her avid fanbase of “Tygers” is a dynamic unique to superstars of TYLA’s ilk. With A*POP, she’s set out to prove that she is here to stay.

South African music sensation Tyla has officially revealed the tracklist for her eagerly awaited second studio album, A*POP, giving fans their first complete look at the project ahead of its release.

The Grammy-winning singer announced the 14-track lineup through a creative visual campaign, further building anticipation for the album, which is scheduled to arrive on July 24.

A*POP follows Tyla’s breakthrough self-titled debut album, which introduced her to a global audience and produced the chart-topping hit “Water.” Since then, the singer has continued to establish herself as one of Africa’s fastest-rising international stars.

The forthcoming project features a blend of previously released songs and fresh material. Already familiar tracks such as “Chanel,” “She Did It Again” featuring Zara Larsson, and “Is It Love” appear alongside new records including “Fairytales,” “That Girl,” “Mr Nonchalant,” “Kiss,” “Hot Tubs,” and “Crazy Of Me.”

Speaking previously about the project, Tyla described A*POP as the beginning of a new era in her career, explaining that the album reflects both her artistic and personal growth.

The body of work is expected to showcase her signature fusion of amapiano, Afropop, R&B, and contemporary pop influences while expanding her sound in new directions.

The announcement comes after months of teasing the project and follows another successful chapter in Tyla’s career, with the 24-year-old continuing to strengthen her reputation as one of Africa’s leading global music exports.

The new single arrives on the heels of her recent collaboration “She Did It Again” with Zara Larsson and the fan-favorite “Chanel,” further reinforcing her ability to move comfortably between Afro-pop textures and mainstream pop appeal.

With “IS IT LOVE,” she leans into a more emotional space, pairing summer-ready sonics with the kind of vocal intimacy and storytelling that has quickly become her trademark. At this point, it’s hard to argue against the trajectory; she’s no longer just South Africa’s breakout name; she’s operating fully as a global pop force.

Sonically, “IS IT LOVE” keeps things smooth and controlled rather than explosive. Instead of the heavy, percussive log drum bounce often associated with Afro-fusion hits, the production settles into a clean, mid-tempo groove. It feels airy and unforced, leaving plenty of room for her soft falsetto and conversational delivery to sit right at the center.

The result is a polished, late-night kind of record, minimal but emotionally loaded, the type of song that lingers.

Lyrically, Tyla leans into the uncertainty that comes with modern relationships. “IS IT LOVE” plays like a gentle but persistent questioning of a partner’s intentions, moving between vulnerability and emotional surrender without ever feeling forced.

Rather than relying on predictable pop hooks, she builds the track around a flowing melody that sneaks up on you and stays there long after it ends. It’s another sign that her songwriting is evolving in real time alongside her rising global profile.

This release also caps a packed run for the fast-rising star. She’s scheduled to perform at the Mawazine Festival in Morocco, adding another major international stage to her growing résumé.

Recently, she also took part in FIFA World Cup-related celebrations, performing South Africa’s national anthem during the opening ceremony in Mexico City, before later joining Future in Los Angeles for a performance of the official 2026 World Cup anthem, “Game Time.”

Released through SALXCO UAM and Def Jam Recordings, alongside an official music video, the track is already available across major streaming platforms and is being positioned as one of the standout sounds of the upcoming tournament.

Produced by four-time GRAMMY Award winner Cirkut, “Game Time” marks a significant moment for the World Cup soundtrack, introducing hip-hop into the official FIFA album for the first time. The result is a bold fusion of styles combining Tyla’s smooth, vibrant pop-infused vocals with Future’s gritty, commanding rap delivery.

Sonically, the record is built around explosive percussion, cinematic brass elements, and an urgent rhythm designed to reflect the intensity and anticipation that surrounds matchday.

The energy mirrors the buildup before kickoff, capturing the tension, pressure, and excitement of global football at its peak.

The track opens with Future’s striking line, “20 seconds to game time”, immediately setting the tone for a record centred on adrenaline and expectation.

Speaking on the collaboration, Future described the song as a natural fit for the global stage of the tournament:

“The World Cup is a global stage. We made a record to match that energy. Now you know it’s Game Time,” he said.

“I’m excited to bring that energy to the Opening Ceremony in Los Angeles and celebrate this moment with fans from around the world.”

For Tyla, the collaboration carries a deeper personal significance, connecting her journey from South Africa’s 2010 World Cup era to now contributing to a global FIFA soundtrack.

“Being part of the Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Album feels like a full-circle moment for a girl — from South Africa hosting the World Cup in 2010,” she said.

“I’m so excited to perform at the opening ceremonies. Let’s go Bafana Bafana.”

Tyla and Future are also set to debut “Game Time” live at the star-studded FIFA World Cup 2026 opening ceremony, scheduled to take place at Los Angeles Stadium on Friday, June 12.

With its fusion of global pop and hip-hop energy, “Game Time” stands as a landmark entry in FIFA’s evolving musical identity crafted to match the scale, drama, and unity of the world’s biggest sporting event.

FIFA announced that the singer will share the stage with an international lineup that includes Katy Perry, Future, Anitta, LISA, and South African star Tyla, with more artists expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

The ceremony is scheduled to take place on June 12 at Los Angeles Stadium, beginning 90 minutes before kick-off at 16:30 local time.

This year’s tournament will make history as the first FIFA World Cup to host opening ceremonies across three countries. Mexico City will stage the first event on June 11, while Toronto and Los Angeles will follow with additional ceremonies on June 12.

For Rema, the booking places him among a select group of African artists to ever perform on one of the world’s biggest entertainment and sporting platforms. Alongside Tyla, he represents the continent’s growing influence in global pop culture and music.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino highlighted that diversity in the official statement announcing the lineup.

“The lineup of artists reflects the cultural diversity of the United States and the vibrancy of its many diasporas,” Infantino said, “highlighting the nation’s rich influence on music, entertainment and pop culture, while showcasing the power of music to bring people together.”

The opening night in Los Angeles will also feature the United States taking on Paraguay later that evening at the same venue.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is already being described as the biggest edition in the competition’s history. For the first time, 48 nations will compete, with a record 104 matches scheduled across 16 host cities in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The tournament will run from June 11 through July 19, culminating with the final at New York New Jersey Stadium.

Rema’s inclusion in the opening ceremony further underlines the growing global reach of Afrobeats, as African artists continue to move from chart success into some of the world’s most visible cultural stages.

The record continues Tyla’s evolution following the breakout success of her debut era and her Grammy win, further refining the “pop-amapiano” direction that has made her one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary music.

Sonically, SHE DID IT AGAIN sits at a striking intersection. It layers log-drum-driven Amapiano basslines with bright, polished Euro-pop synths, creating a sound that feels both rooted in South African rhythm and engineered for international radio.

Tyla delivers her signature airy, effortless vocal style, floating over the production with a calm, melodic presence. Zara Larsson complements that with powerful, full-range vocals, especially on the chorus, which is built as a soaring, festival-ready hook.

The song’s theme revolves around confidence, resilience, and success under pressure—capturing the “it girl” energy both artists are known for. It’s playful, assertive, and intentionally crafted to feel empowering without losing its fun edge.

Beyond the sound, the collaboration also reflects a wider cultural moment: the continued merging of African rhythmic structures with global pop frameworks. Tyla, in particular, continues to position herself as a bridge between continents, taking elements of South African sound and placing them at the center of mainstream pop.

Already being described as one of the standout pop collaborations of the year, SHE DID IT AGAIN reinforces both artists’ strengths while pushing amapiano-influenced pop further into global spaces—without diluting its identity.

Leading this year’s nominations are some of the biggest names shaping the sound worldwide, including Burna Boy, Rema, and Wizkid—artists who have consistently pushed African music onto the global stage.

They are joined by Ghanaian-American rising star MOLIY and South African breakout act Tyla, making the category a dynamic mix of established heavyweights and new-generation voices redefining the genre’s reach.

The inclusion of these artists reflects just how expansive Afrobeats—and its related sounds—has become, stretching across continents while continuing to evolve.

Looking back, Tyla made history at the 2025 edition of the awards by winning Favorite Afrobeats Artist, beating out strong contenders like Wizkid, Rema, Tems, and Asake. Her victory marked a significant moment for the South African star, cementing her place in the global conversation.

Wizkid, on the other hand, still holds a special place in the category’s history as its first-ever winner, having claimed the inaugural Favorite Afrobeats Artist award in 2022.

With this year’s nominees, the conversation isn’t just about who wins—it’s about how far the genre has come, and the diverse set of artists now carrying Afrobeats into its next global chapter.
