Showmax is making history as Africa’s first streaming service to broadcast a live concert, featuring none other than Grammy Award-winning Amapiano sensation, Tyla. On 18 January 2025, fans across 44 African countries can tune in to experience the “Queen of Popiano” performing live at the SunBet Arena in Pretoria, exclusively on Showmax.com.
Fresh off a groundbreaking year of accolades—including wins at the BET Awards, MTV Music Video Awards, and Grammys—Tyla promises an unforgettable show, showcasing hits from her chart-smashing debut album, TYLA. The album, which has surpassed an astonishing 1.6 billion streams, has firmly established her as a global icon.
Yatish Narsi, Chief Marketing Officer at Showmax and MultiChoice South Africa, expressed excitement about the landmark event:
“With our advanced live-streaming technology, we’re thrilled to spotlight Tyla’s iconic homecoming concert. This marks our first live-streamed entertainment event, underscoring our commitment to making world-class experiences accessible across the continent.”
Tyla, known for her electrifying performances, shared her enthusiasm:
“Tygers! Me and Showmax decided to livestream this concert for everyone across Africa. I hardly get time to be home, so this one is gonna be special! I can’t wait for y’all to ROCKKK with me!”
For fans who missed her sold-out shows in Cape Town and Pretoria, this exclusive live stream offers one last chance to be part of Tyla’s magical tour.
The live stream also celebrates a stellar year for Showmax, which relaunched in February 2024 and saw a 50% increase in paying subscribers. Backed by Peacock’s cutting-edge streaming technology, Showmax continues to break barriers, aiming to be a global leader in streaming.
Don’t miss this historic event! Tune in on 18 January 2025 and experience the magic of Tyla, live from the SunBet Arena.
