Tyla’s 2024 South African tour proved to be an unprecedented success, with her December shows in Cape Town and Pretoria selling out in record time. The multi-talented, Grammy®-winning artist has become a sensation both locally and globally, and her passionate fanbase—affectionately known as “Tyla’s Tygas”—couldn’t get enough of the star’s electrifying performances. As her tour became the hottest ticket in South Africa, many fans were left disappointed when they missed out on tickets for the Johannesburg concert. But there’s good news for those who couldn’t secure a spot—an extra show has been added for January 18, 2025, at the SunBet Arena at Time Square in Menlyn, Pretoria.

This exciting extension to Tyla’s South African tour is proudly presented by leading local promoters Anything Goes and Showtime Management. Tickets for the newly added show, priced from R500, are now available for purchase at www.ticketmaster.co.za, the exclusive official Tyla SA ticketing agent. Fans should act quickly, as demand is expected to be high, following the incredible reception Tyla received at her earlier concerts. The January show is sure to be a sellout as Tyla continues to dominate the music scene in 2025.

Tyla herself expressed her excitement at the overwhelming response from her South African audience. Reflecting on her incredible journey, she shared, “Everything that’s happening has surpassed anything I could have dreamt of. African music is going global, and I’m so blessed to be one of the artists pushing the culture. I’ve been working on my sound for two years now and I’m so ready for the world to hear it.”

Tyla’s rise to international stardom has been nothing short of remarkable. She is best known for her chart-topping hit “Water,” which earned her the inaugural Grammy® Award for Best African Music Performance. The song has made waves across the globe, hitting #7 on the Billboard US Hot 100 and claiming the #1 spot on multiple Billboard charts, including the Afrobeats Chart, Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay Chart, Hot R&B Songs Chart, and Adult R&B Airplay Charts. It also made history as the first solo song to spend an entire year at #1 on the Billboard US Afrobeats Song Chart for 52 weeks.

Tyla’s impact doesn’t stop there. She has earned multiple nominations for the 2024 Billboard Music Awards, including Top R&B Artist, Top R&B Female Artist, and Top Afrobeats Artist. She shares the honor of having eight nominations with the likes of Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Post Malone, solidifying her position as one of the most exciting new artists of the decade. The Billboard Music Awards ceremony is set to take place on December 12, with fans eagerly awaiting the results.

Tyla has also had a stellar showing at the recent South African Music Awards, where she took home three prestigious wins—Best Pop Album, Female Artist of the Year, and Newcomer of the Year. Her debut album, TYLA, released in March 2024, has been hailed as a groundbreaking blend of Amapiano, Afrobeats, contemporary R&B, and pop. Featuring collaborations with major stars like Travis Scott, Tems, Gunna, Skillibeng, and Becky G, the album has received glowing reviews from critics. NME calls her “South Africa’s brightest new star,” while Rolling Stone refers to her as “The perfect Amapiano ambassador.” Pitchfork described her debut as a “lithe, contemporary take on pop-R&B that pulses with the log-drum heartbeat of Amapiano.”

As Tyla continues to dominate the global music stage in 2025, this is a rare opportunity for South African fans to experience her electrifying performance in person.
