Nigerian singer Ayra Starr will hit the road in 2027 with her Starrgirl World Tour, a 20-city run across Europe and North America. It opens on Jan. 20, 2027, at the Live Music Hall in Cologne, her only date in Germany, and continues to Amsterdam, Paris, Milan, Zurich and Brussels before the European leg wraps on Feb. 2 at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire.
The tour supports her album Starrgirl, released in August 2026. According to uDiscover Music, the record debuted at No. 2 on Spotify's global albums chart and reached No. 1 on Apple Music's album chart in 15 countries. The video for Heaven Baby, featuring ZAYN, topped Shazam's global viral chart within its first week, the outlet said.
Artist and Mastercard presales for the European shows open Wednesday, Oct. 14, at 10 a.m. local time, with the general sale following on Friday, Oct. 16. The North American leg starts March 18 in Houston and ends April 14 in San Francisco. Shows in Africa are planned for late 2026, with details yet to be announced.
