Two-time Grammy Award–winning global sensation Tyla has officially launched the North American leg of her monumental THE APOP WORLD TOUR, kicking off the run on Thursday, November 12 at Hard Rock Live in Wheatland, California. In celebration of the release of her chart-topping sophomore studio album, APOP, the opening night transformed the venue into a high-energy, club-inspired spectacle featuring black lights, neon outfits, and bold splashes of paint.
Tyla opened the high-octane show with “THAT GIRL” before powering through a career-spanning setlist packed with fan favorites and global smash hits, including “Jump,” “PUSH 2 START,” “Truth or Dare,” “SHE DID IT AGAIN,” “SHAKE AH,” and “CHANEL.” The night reached a memorable climax as the South African superstar closed with a triumphant encore performance of her three-time Platinum breakthrough hit, “WATER.”
Following her opening California dates, including San Francisco’s Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, THE APOP WORLD TOUR will traverse North America with major stops in Vancouver, Chicago, Toronto, Brooklyn, and Los Angeles before wrapping at Fontainebleau Las Vegas on Saturday, December 19. In early January 2027, Tyla will bring the production home to South Africa for headline shows in Cape Town and Johannesburg, prior to joining Bruno Mars across Australia and New Zealand on The Romantic Tour during February and March.
Released via FAX and Epic Records, APOP represents Tyla’s boldest artistic statement to date. The 14-track collection—including the Zara Larsson collaboration “SHE DID IT AGAIN” and Billboard U.S. Afrobeats chart-toppers “CHANEL” and “IS IT LOVE?”—debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard World Albums chart and earned widespread critical acclaim for blending African musical roots with infectious mainstream pop sensibilities.
Marking her first full-scale headline trek spanning North America, Europe, the UK, and Africa, THE A*POP WORLD TOUR cements Tyla’s status as one of contemporary music’s most magnetic live performers. Tickets and full tour details are available now via TylaWorld.com.
