Afrobeats star Ayra Starr has announced the Starrgirl World Tour, a 20-date concert run across Europe, the United Kingdom and North America, following the release of her third studio album, Starr Girl, earlier this year.
The announcement comes a day after the Nigerian singer made 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 Sunday, October 11, during the game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars.
Ayra Starr opened her performance with “Heaven Baby” before delivering “Rush” and “Hot Body,” bringing her catalogue to an international sporting audience.
The latest milestone adds to a career that began in 2021 and has since accumulated more than seven billion global streams and one billion YouTube views. The singer 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.
Named after her third studio album, Starrgirl, the tour will begin on January 20, 2027, in Cologne, Germany. The European leg will continue through Amsterdam, Paris, Milan, Zurich and Brussels before concluding in London on February 2.
Ayra Starr will then begin the North American leg in Houston on March 18, followed by Dallas on March 19. Other scheduled US stops include Atlanta, Silver Spring, Boston, Philadelphia and Brooklyn, where she will perform on March 28.
The Canadian dates will follow, with performances in Toronto on March 29 and Montreal on March 30. She will then travel to Chicago, Minneapolis and Denver before concluding the tour in San Francisco on April 14.
Tickets will be available through a series of presales beginning Wednesday, October 14, at 10 a.m. local time. Additional presales are scheduled throughout the week, ahead of the general sale on Friday, October 16, at 10 a.m. local time via Live Nation.
The tour marks another international push for the singer as she continues to build on the momentum surrounding Starrgirl and her growing presence on the global music stage.
