Nigerian singer Ayra Starr has announced the Starrgirl World Tour, a new international tour supporting her third studio album, Starrgirl, with performances scheduled across Africa, Europe and North America.
The singer announced the tour on Monday, October 12, shortly after delivering a headline halftime performance at the NFL London Game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday. The announcement extends an eventful period for the Mavin Records star, whose international profile continues to grow.
The tour will begin with its African leg in December 2026 before moving to Europe in January 2027 and North America in March. While further African dates are yet to be announced, Ayra has confirmed that she will begin in the continent before the end of the year.
The European leg will begin on January 20, 2027, in Cologne, Germany, before continuing through several cities, including Amsterdam, Paris, Milan, Zürich and Brussels. The leg is scheduled to conclude in London on February 2, with a performance at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire.
Ayra will then begin the North American leg on March 18 in Houston, Texas. The schedule includes stops in Dallas, Atlanta, the Washington, D.C. area, Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Toronto, Montreal, Chicago, Minneapolis, Denver and San Francisco, with the final currently announced date set for April 14.
The initial announcement includes seven European and UK dates and 13 North American dates, with additional African performances expected to provide more opportunities for fans to see the singer live.
The tour supports Starrgirl, Ayra Starr’s third studio album, released on August 14, 2026, through Mavin Records and Republic Records. The 16-track project brings together Afrobeats, R&B and pop, featuring collaborations with ZAYN, Wizkid, Rema, Leon Thomas, kwn, Theodora and Danny Ocean.
Among the album’s collaborations is “Heaven Baby,” featuring ZAYN, alongside a wider catalogue of releases that have helped shape the current era, including “Where Do We Go,” “Tornado,” “Gimme Dat” with Wizkid, “Hot Body” and “Who’s Dat Girl” with Rema.
With the album providing the foundation for the tour, the upcoming shows will give her an opportunity to bring the Starrgirl sound to audiences across multiple markets while continuing to build on the international following she has developed through her previous releases and live performances.
Ayra Starr has steadily expanded her international presence since the release of her debut album, 19 & Dangerous, in 2021. Her follow-up, The Year I Turned 21, arrived in 2024, further establishing her as one of the Nigerian artists attracting audiences beyond the Afrobeats scene.
Her live-performance includes appearances at Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage and opening slots for major international acts, including Coldplay and Chris Brown. Her NFL London Game halftime performance on October 11 added another significant moment to that journey.
General ticket sales for the announced European and North American dates are scheduled to begin on Friday, October 16, 2026, at 10 a.m. local time. Several presales are scheduled to open earlier in the week, including artist presales on October 14.
