South Africa’s very own international pop sensation, Tyla, is bringing the heat to her home country with an unforgettable two-city tour this December. Fans—lovingly called “Tygas”—are counting down the days to see the Grammy-winning superstar light up the stage in Cape Town and Pretoria.
The tour kicks off on December 5 at Cape Town’s Grand Arena, GrandWest, before heading to the SunBet Arena in Menlyn, Pretoria, on December 7. As anticipation reaches fever pitch, Tyla has unveiled a dazzling line-up of support acts guaranteed to make the shows an all-out celebration of South African talent.
Joining Tyla on stage are some of the nation’s hottest artists, including amapiano maestro DJ Kelvin Momo, soulful singer-songwriter Daliwonga, and the genre-blending amapiano artist Optimist. Fans can also look forward to electrifying performances from R&B star Filah Lah Lah and electro-amapiano trailblazer Ez Maestro. Together, this star-studded crew promises to deliver a night of chart-topping hits and high-energy vibes.
Tyla’s meteoric rise to fame has been nothing short of extraordinary. Since signing with US-based Epic Records in 2021, she’s racked up multiple awards and nominations, including a Grammy for Best African Performance, eight Billboard Music Award nods, and wins at the BET Awards and MTV VMAs.
Reflecting on her journey in an interview with Vogue, Tyla said, “I know people are wondering, ‘How did she come out of nowhere and all of this is happening?’ Tell me about it—I don’t know myself! Winning the first African performance Grammy? I couldn’t have asked for a better one. My parents are still bragging about it to this day.”
With her trailblazing talent and a showstopping line-up, Tyla’s SA tour is set to be the event of the season. Get ready to dance, sing, and celebrate the magic of one of South Africa’s brightest stars!
