South Africa’s global music sensation, Tyla, has once again shattered records. This time, by becoming the first African artist in history to sell out a headlining arena concert in Thailand.
The Grammy Award-winner achieved this monumental milestone for her upcoming Bangkok show on her debut ‘We Wanna Party Asia Tour.’
TYLA AND HER THAI ‘TYGERS’
The historic sell-out secures Tyla’s performance at the Impact Challenger H3 Arena in Bangkok on 14 November.
The venue, with a significant capacity of 14,000 to 20,000 attendees, will be filled exclusively by her Thai fans, known as ‘Tygers’.
TYLA’S UNIQUE SOUND
This achievement underscores the powerful and borderless appeal of the Johannesburg-born star’s signature sound.
It’s a unique blend of Amapiano, pop, and R&B that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
This triumphant news was first announced by fan account Tyla Metrics. It sent a wave of pride from Southern Africa to Southeast Asia.
THE ASIAN TOUR
The Bangkok sell-out is a standout moment on Tyla’s groundbreaking Asian tour. Other stops on this tour include stops in major cities like Tokyo, Hong Kong, Manila, and Singapore.
The tour itself had already made history as the first debut world tour by an African artist to include dates in Asia, according to Shine My Crown.
SOUTH AFRICAN PRIDE
This accomplishment is a profound point of national pride. It reinforces Tyla’s role as a trailblazer who is forcefully putting African music. This is especially true with the South African-born Amapiano genre.
She is putting it on the global map in an unprecedented way.
WE WANNA PARTY
Her journey from the studios of Johannesburg to selling out arenas in Asia exemplifies a new era of global reach for African artists.
The ‘We Wanna Party Asia Tour’ follows the release of Tyla’s new EP, WWP (We Wanna Party), and her hit collaboration Dynamite with Wizkid.
As tickets for the remaining Asian dates continue to sell, all eyes are on Tyla to see which record the young superstar will break next.
