Tyla: Live on Showmax (2024)

Showmax is breaking new ground as Africa’s first streaming service (SVOD) to live stream a homegrown concert. On 18 January 2025, fans across 44 African countries watched the Grammy-winning Amapiano superstar Tyla perform live from the SunBet Arena, Pretoria, exclusively on Showmax.com.

Tyla, the youngest African to win a Grammy, showcased hits from her chart-topping debut album TYLA, which has amassed more than 1.6 billion streams.

For fans who missed her sold-out Cape Town and Pretoria shows, this exclusive live stream offers a final chance to be part of the Queen of Popiano’s magical tour, fresh off her wins at the BET Awards, MTV Music Video Awards, and the Grammys.
