Tyla Removes Lagos from A*POP World Tour
South African music sensation Tyla has sparked disappointment among Nigerian fans after Lagos was reportedly removed from the official schedule of her A*POP World Tour. The development has generated widespread discussion across social media, with many fans questioning why one of Africa’s biggest music markets no longer appears on the tour itinerary.
When the A*POP World Tour was first announced, Lagos was listed as one of only three African stops, alongside Cape Town and Johannesburg. The Nigerian show was scheduled for 22 December 2026, with the venue yet to be confirmed. The announcement was celebrated by fans who were eager to see the Grammy-winning star perform live.
Fans React Online
Following reports that Lagos had disappeared from Tyla’s official tour schedule, social media was flooded with mixed reactions. While some fans expressed disappointment, others speculated about possible reasons behind the change, including logistics, scheduling conflicts, venue availability, or production challenges.
At the time of writing, neither Tyla nor her management team has publicly explained why the Lagos date no longer appears on the schedule.
A Major Blow for Nigerian Fans
Nigeria remains one of Africa’s largest music markets and has consistently supported Tyla since the breakout success of her global hit “Water.” Her music has enjoyed significant streaming numbers in the country, making Lagos one of the most anticipated stops on the tour.
Many fans had already begun making plans to attend the concert, hoping to experience songs from her latest album, A*POP, performed live for the first time.
Could Lagos Return?
Although the Lagos date has reportedly been removed from the current schedule, fans remain hopeful that it could be reinstated at a later date. Changes to international tours are not uncommon, particularly when venues, logistics, or production requirements are still being finalized.
Supporters are encouraging Tyla and her team to find a way to bring the tour back to Nigeria, emphasizing the country’s passionate fan base and its importance within the African music industry.
Looking Ahead
Despite the uncertainty surrounding the Lagos show, Tyla’s A*POP World Tour remains one of the biggest African music tours of the year. As fans await an official statement, many are hoping this is only a temporary setback rather than a permanent cancellation.
For now, Nigerian fans will be watching closely for updates, hoping that Lagos once again finds its place on the A*POP World Tour.
