Tyla has announced The A*POP World Tour, a 34-date global headline run supporting her new album, A*POP. The two-time Grammy winner begins the tour at Zenith Paris on 12 October before travelling across Europe and the UK, with further dates around the world.

The tour marks Tyla’s first full headline run across North America, Europe, the UK and Africa, following her 2025 We Wanna Party Tour across Asia, which included sold-out shows in Japan and the UAE. UK fans can see her at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on 15 October, Glasgow’s O2 Academy on 18 October and Manchester’s O2 Apollo the following night.

The full UK and European dates are:

12 October 2026 — Paris, France — Zenith Paris
13 October 2026 — Amsterdam, Netherlands — AFAS Live
15 October 2026 — London, UK — O2 Academy Brixton
18 October 2026 — Glasgow, UK — O2 Academy Glasgow
19 October 2026 — Manchester, UK — O2 Apollo Manchester
22 October 2026 — Brussels, Belgium — Forest National

The North American leg begins in Wheatland, California, on 12 November and includes stops in Vancouver, Chicago, Brooklyn, Toronto and Los Angeles before ending in Las Vegas on 19 December. Tyla will then travel to Africa for performances in Lagos, Cape Town and Johannesburg, with venues still to be announced.

The tour arrives shortly after the release of A*POP on 24 July. The 14-track album includes ‘CHANEL’, ‘IS IT’, ‘SHE DID IT AGAIN’ and ‘IS IT LOVE’, with Tyla supporting its global rollout through live performances, music videos and special appearances.

Tyla’s rise began with the global success of ‘WATER’, which earned her first Grammy Award in 2024 and helped make her the highest-charting African female solo artist on the Billboard 200. Her debut era also produced the Grammy-winning ‘PUSH 2 START’, with A*POP continuing that momentum.

She recently performed at Rockefeller Plaza for Today’s Citi Concert Series before becoming the first international artist to headline the WNBA All-Star Game halftime show.

Artist presale tickets will be available from 10am local time on Wednesday, 29 July through Laylo. General sale begins at 10am on Friday, 31 July through Tyla’s official website. Mastercard cardholders in the UK will also have access to preferred tickets from 10am on Friday.

For CultureCues, Tyla’s first full headline tour across the UK and Europe feels like another major step in her rapid rise. A*POP has only just arrived, and fans will now get the chance to experience this new era live. We are especially happy to see a Glasgow O2 Academy date, giving Scottish fans their own stop before the tour continues around the world. One thing is certain: Tyla is ready to take things even bigger.

Tyla’s The A*POP World Tour visits London, Glasgow and Manchester in October 2026.
