Showmax to live stream Tyla’s Homecoming concert across Africa
Showmax is set to make history on 18 January 2025 as the first African streaming platform to live stream a homegrown concert. Fans across 44 African countries will get to experience Grammy-winning Amapiano star Tyla’s highly anticipated performance at the SunBet Arena in Pretoria.
Tyla, the youngest African Grammy winner, will perform hits from her debut album, TYLA, which has already surpassed 1.6 billion streams globally. Known as the “Queen of Popiano,” Tyla’s unique blend of pop and Amapiano has earned her a dedicated fanbase worldwide.
Speaking on the groundbreaking event, Yatish Narsi, Chief Marketing Officer at Showmax and MultiChoice South Africa, expressed excitement: “This is our first live-streamed entertainment event, and we’re thrilled to bring Tyla’s iconic concert to audiences across the continent.”
Tyla also shared her enthusiasm: “Tygers! Me and Showmax decided to live stream this concert for everyone across Africa. I hardly get time to be home, so this one is gonna be special! I can’t wait for y’all to ROCKKK with me!”
Fans who missed her sold-out shows in Cape Town and Pretoria now have one last chance to experience the magic. With an active Showmax Entertainment subscription, viewers can join this historic event and celebrate the rising global influence of African music.
