Double GRAMMY-award-winning global singer and songwriter Tyla makes not one but two major announcements for the Gauteng leg of her forthcoming hugely anticipated A*POP WORLD TOUR, due to kick off in Paris on October 12, with stopover concerts in South Africa in January 2027 before heading “down under”.
First, the Saturday, January 9 concert was scheduled for the Nasrec Outdoor Area in Johannesburg, but after concerns about possible Highveld thunderstorms, along with a review of the overall audience experience and seating requests, they sought another venue.
Local promoters Showtime Management and Anything Goes are pleased to have secured availability at Pretoria’s SunBet Arena, which is also Gauteng’s premier world-class indoor arena and offers a seating option.
Then for the biggest news yet! Tygers asked. Tyla listened! At popular demand, Tyla added a second Gauteng concert date at SunBet Arena on Friday, January 8, so even more Tygers can see this global star live on stage, on home ground.
Tyla performed a sold-out concert at SunBet Arena in 2025 – so her Tygers know what to expect, but with new material from the singer-songwriter’s recently released second studio album A*POP, which reached Number 1 on the Billboard US World Albums chart and Number 3 on the UK R&B Albums chart, Tyla kicks off 2027 with double Gauteng concert dates.
Tickets for the new date, January 8, and the new venue date on 9 January 2027 are on sale exclusively at Ticketmaster.co.za. Seating tickets cost from R895, excluding the Service Fee.
For anyone who had already purchased tickets for the January 9 show, these tickets remain secure and have been automatically transferred to the new venue in the same ticket category.
Howler has been in direct contact with all ticket holders regarding replacement tickets, refunds, etc., and all tickets are now migrated to Ticketmaster.
