South Africa’s very own Grammy award-winning superstar, Tyla, has announced that she will be returning home with her two-city South Africa tour in December. The ‘Water’ hitmaker will thrill fans with her first local tour since her rise to global stardom.
Performances will be held at Grand Arena, GrandWest, Cape Town on 5th of December and SunBet Arena, Menlyn on the 7th of December. Both shows begin at 8 pm.
Tickets priced from R500 each will go on sale on Thursday, 10 October, at 9 a.m. at www.ticketmaster.co.za, the exclusive official Tyla SA Tour ticketing agent.
In recent years, Tyla has become one of the greatest success stories to come out of South Africa. Known best for her viral award-winning track ‘Water’, the “pretty girl from Joburg” continues to break records across the globe during her breakout year.
“I’ve been travelling the world, experiencing so much along the way. It’s been a journey, but now I’m finally coming home. I’m beyond excited to perform for my TIGERS and share this moment with all of you!” – Tyla
Tyla made headlines following her win at the 2024 Grammy Awards in February, for the inaugural Best African Music Performance award. Her hit song ‘Water’ made her the highest-charting female soloist on the US Hot 100 chart peaking at #7.
The popular single also crowned Tyla as the youngest-ever South African and the first South African soloist to enter the Billboard Hot 100 in over 55 years.
The track peaked at #1 on the Billboard Afrobeats Chart and also made Tyla the winner of the BET Awards for Best New Artist and Best International Act and winner of MTV VMA’s Best New Artist.
In addition, she was also nominated for a Brit Award, two iHeartRadio Music Awards and an Ivor Novello for Best Contemporary Song.
And if that’s not enough, the 22-year-old singer also dominates the South African Music Awards with multiple nominations, including Record of the Year, Music Video of the Year, Album of the Year, Female Artist of the Year, Newcomer of the Year, Best Pop Album, and Best Collaboration.
Tyla released her debut, self-titled album in March 2024. Reaching #1 on the US World Albums Chart, TYLA has been critically acclaimed for her skill in blending amapiano, afrobeats, contemporary R&B and pop into one record. Delving into her signature ‘popiano’ blend, the album features a stellar lineup of collaborators including Travis Scott. Tems, Gunna, Skillibeng, Becky G and more.
“Tyla’s debut album proves she’s the perfect amapiano ambassador” – The Rolling Stones
“The South African singer’s star-making debut is a lithe, contemporary take on pop-R&B that pulses with the log-drum heartbeat of amapiano”. – Pitchfork
