Showmax to Live Stream Tyla’s Groundbreaking Concert Across Africa
Showmax is poised to make history on 18 January 2025 by becoming the first African streaming platform to live stream a homegrown concert. Fans in 44 African countries will have the rare opportunity to experience Grammy-winning Amapiano star Tyla’s highly anticipated live performance at the SunBet Arena in Pretoria.
Tyla, celebrated as the youngest African Grammy winner, will perform tracks from her chart-topping debut album, TYLA, which has amassed over 1.6 billion streams worldwide. Nicknamed the “Queen of Popiano” for her signature fusion of pop and Amapiano, she continues to captivate audiences with her genre-defying sound and electrifying stage presence.
Yatish Narsi, Chief Marketing Officer at Showmax and MultiChoice South Africa, shared his excitement about the innovative event:
“This is our first live-streamed entertainment event, and we’re thrilled to bring Tyla’s iconic concert to audiences across the continent.”
Tyla echoed the excitement, addressing her fans, affectionately known as 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!”
For fans who missed her sold-out shows in Cape Town and Pretoria, this live stream offers a final chance to experience Tyla’s magic firsthand. With an active Showmax Entertainment subscription, viewers can join this historic moment and celebrate the unstoppable rise of African music on the global stage.
