South African singer Tyla has explained her decision to perform in smaller venues for her ongoing “A*POP” tour, saying she wants to connect more closely with fans.
Speaking during a TikTok Live session, the singer said she had been asking her team for an opportunity to perform in more intimate settings after spending much of her time performing at festivals and larger shows following her rise to international recognition.
“I love that all the venues are gonna be intimate. I’ve been begging my team for something like that because after I blew up, I went straight to festivals, big shows, and I love it, but I’ve always wanted to have that experience of performing in small venues and seeing my Tygers up close, us vibing, talking to each other,” she said.
The “APOP” World Tour supports Tyla’s second studio album, APOP, released on July 24, 2026. The 34-date tour marks her first headline run across Europe, the UK, North America and Africa.
The tour kicked off at Zénith Paris in France on October 12, before moving through Amsterdam, London, Glasgow, Manchester, Brussels, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Berlin, Stockholm and Oslo. Copenhagen is scheduled for November 1.
The North American leg begins on November 12 in Wheatland, California, with further stops in San Francisco, Vancouver, Seattle, Denver, Chicago, Boston, Toronto, Brooklyn, Washington, DC, Tampa, Atlanta, Irving, Houston, Austin, Phoenix, San Diego, Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
