Tyla Opens A*POP Tour in Paris

Tyla has launched her A*POP World Tour in Paris on October 12. The Grammy-winning artist opened the 34-date tour at Zénith Paris–La Villette. This marked the start of her first full-scale headlining world tour. The show supports her second studio album, A*POP, which was released on July 24, 2026, through FAX and Epic Records.

The opening night introduced the visual style of Tyla’s new era. The singer wore bright outfits that matched the album’s colourful aesthetic. 

The production drew on early 2000s pop culture, a recurring influence in Tyla’s fashion and visual presentation. The segment brought a nightclub atmosphere to the stage, with industrial scaffolding and black lights creating the setting for the performance. Tyla also performed “That Girl,” a track from A*POP, during the opening night.

The setlist also included favourites such as “Water,” “Truth or Dare,” “Jump,” “PUSH 2 START” and “CHANEL.” She ended the main set with ‘MR. NONCHALANT’ before returning to perform “SHAKE AH” as the encore.

The concert also featured South African DJ and producer Royal MusiQ as a support act. After the Paris show, he shared footage from the performance on social media and thanked the singer for including him.

“Paris got the first chapter. Had to leave my mark,” Royal MusiQ wrote in a post reflecting on the experience.

The opening night included moments when members of the audience began chanting “Macron démission,” a French political slogan calling for President Emmanuel Macron to resign. Tyla was seen vibing to the chants.

The Paris concert marked the beginning of a tour spanning Europe, the United Kingdom, North America and Africa. Following the opening date, Tyla continued to Amsterdam before heading to London and other European cities.

The African leg initially included a Lagos date scheduled on December 22, 2026, but the date was subsequently removed from her tour itinerary. The singer and her management have not publicly clarified the concert’s status. Her South Africa tour will start in Cape Town on January 4, 2027, and Pretoria for January 9.
