Nigerian Afrobeats star Ayra Starr has announced her Starrgirl World Tour, unveiling 20 international shows across Europe, the United Kingdom and North America in support of her third studio album, Starrgirl.

The announcement came on October 12, just a day after the singer made history as the first African artiste to headline an NFL International Game halftime show during the Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.

The tour will begin on January 20, 2027, in Cologne, Germany, before moving through Amsterdam, Paris, Milan, Zurich and Brussels. The European leg will conclude in London on February 2.

Ayra will then begin the North American leg in Houston, Texas, on March 18. Other stops include Dallas, Atlanta, Silver Spring, Boston, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Toronto, Montreal, Chicago, Minneapolis and Denver, before the tour concludes in San Francisco on April 14.

The tour takes its name from Starrgirl, Ayra Starr’s third studio album, released on August 14, 2026, through Mavin Records and Republic Records. The project features collaborations with international and African artistes, including Zayn Malik, Leon Thomas and Wizkid.

The album has strengthened the singer’s growing international profile, following the success of previous releases such as “Rush” and “Commas.” Her recent NFL halftime performance has also brought further attention to her music, placing Afrobeats before another international audience.

Although the announced tour dates focus on Europe, the UK and North America, Ayra has also told her African fans to expect her in December 2026. Specific African venues and dates have not yet been announced.

Ticket presales are scheduled to begin on October 13 for selected North American dates, while the artist presale for Europe and the UK starts on October 14. General ticket sales are expected to open on October 16 through Live Nation.

With the tour, Ayra Starr is preparing to take the Starrgirl project directly to fans across several international markets, building on the momentum of her recent performances and the growing global reach of Afrobeats.
