Afrobeats singer Ayra Starr will take her third studio album, Starr Girl, to audiences across Europe and North America with a 20-date world tour scheduled to begin in January 2027.
The Nigerian star announced the Starrgirl World Tour after making history as the first African artiste to headline the halftime show at an NFL international game.
She performed at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on October 11 during the match between the Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars, opening her set with “Heaven Baby” before performing “Rush” and “Hot Body”.
The tour will begin in Cologne, Germany, on January 20, before moving through Amsterdam, Paris, Milan, Zurich and Brussels. The European leg will end in London on February 2.
Ayra Starr will begin the North American leg in Houston on March 18, followed by Dallas the next day. Other US stops include Atlanta, Silver Spring, Boston, Philadelphia and Brooklyn, where she is scheduled to perform on March 28.
The singer will then travel to Canada for shows in Toronto on March 29 and Montreal on March 30, before continuing to Chicago, Minneapolis and Denver. San Francisco will host the final concert on April 14.
The tour follows the release of Starr Girl, her third studio album, earlier this year, and adds to the singer’s growing international profile since her career breakthrough in 2021.
She has accumulated more than seven billion global streams and one billion YouTube views, according to the figures provided in the tour announcement. She has also received two Grammy nominations in the Best African Music Performance category: for “Rush” in 2024 and “Gimme Dat”, her collaboration with Wizkid, in 2025.
Tickets are scheduled to go on sale through presales beginning on October 14, ahead of the general sale on October 16 via Live Nation.
The tour is expected to extend Ayra Starr’s international reach as she builds on the momentum of her latest album and her appearance at the NFL event.
