South African superstar Tyla has expanded the South African leg of her APOP World Tour*, moving her Gauteng concert to Pretoria\u2019s SunBet Arena and adding a second show following strong demand from fans.<\/p>\n
The singer will now perform at SunBet Arena on Friday, January 8, and Saturday, January 9, 2027, giving fans in Gauteng two opportunities to see her perform live. The January 9 concert was originally scheduled for the Nasrec Outdoor Area in Johannesburg.<\/p>\n
The venue change was made partly because of concerns about potential Highveld thunderstorms, while promoters Showtime Management and Anything Goes also cited audience-experience considerations and requests for a venue with seated options.<\/p>\n
The additional January 8 date was announced in response to popular demand, allowing more fans to attend Tyla\u2019s homecoming shows.<\/p>\n
Fans who had already purchased tickets for the original January 9 show do not need to purchase new tickets. Their tickets have been transferred to the new venue in the same ticket category, with ticketing now handled through Ticketmaster South Africa.<\/p>\n
Tyla previously performed a sold-out concert at SunBet Arena in 2025. Her return will come with new material from her second studio album, APOP*, which has continued her international run following the success of her self-titled debut album.<\/p>\n
The South African dates form part of Tyla\u2019s first full headline world tour. The homecoming will begin with a January 4, 2027 performance at Green Point Track in Cape Town before the two Pretoria dates.<\/p>\n
With the Gauteng leg now expanded to two nights, Tyla will perform three concerts in South Africa during the APOP World Tour.<\/p>\n
Tickets for the Pretoria shows are available exclusively through Ticketmaster South Africa, with prices starting at R895, excluding service fees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
