South Africa’s own Grammy-winning star, Tyla, is home for an electrifying two-city tour, bringing her global shine to Cape Town and Tshwane. The 22-year-old artist, known for her international hits and dynamic performances, kicked off her tour on 5 December at Cape Town’s GrandWest Arena, leaving fans in awe with her soulful blend of pop and amapiano.
Tyla didn’t just serve her captivating voice; she also brought humor and a personal touch to the stage. Reflecting on her homecoming after six months abroad, she shared a relatable moment: “The first thing I did was hit the Chicken Licken line for some hot wings and slyders!” she told fans, sparking laughter and applause.
Amid her joyous return, Tyla addressed recent online controversies, playfully acknowledging the drama around being called “uppity” by some American critics. “You came to see the main topic in the flesh,” she quipped, affirming her resilience and charm.
The tour’s magic extended to its lineup of local stars, with amapiano powerhouse Kelvin Momo opening the show. Special guest performances by Daliwonga, Optimist, and EZ Maestro added an extra dose of vibrancy to the evening. Tyla’s next performance is set for 7 December at Tshwane’s SunBet Arena, featuring singer Filah Lah Lah.
The momentum doesn’t stop there—Tyla is gearing up to perform at the prestigious Billboard Music Awards on 12 December in Las Vegas. Her star power will also shine at Coachella 2025 in April, marking her as a truly unstoppable force in music.
