AYRA STARR ANNOUNCES 20-CITY STARRGIRL WORLD TOUR ACROSS EUROPE, THE UK AND NORTH AMERICA
TL;DR: Two-time GRAMMY nominee Ayra Starr is taking her new album Starrgirl on the road with the 20-city Starrgirl World Tour, opening January 20 in Cologne and closing April 14 in San Francisco, with Canadian stops in Toronto and Montreal.
October 12, 2026 - Ayra Starr has announced the Starrgirl World Tour, in support of the album she released August 14. Starrgirl debuted at No. 2 on Spotify's global albums chart and topped Apple Music's album chart in 15 countries, while "Heaven Baby" featuring ZAYN hit No. 1 on Shazam's Global Viral chart in its first week. The announcement landed a day after she became the first Afrobeats artist to headline an NFL International Game halftime show, at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The European leg runs from Cologne to London's Shepherd's Bush Empire, and the North American leg opens March 18 at House of Blues Houston. Before all that, she'll close out 2026 with a special return to Africa.

The Backspin HQ Perspective
Ayra Starr keeps stacking firsts, and this tour is built to capture that momentum rather than overreach. The room sizes are smart: Brooklyn Paramount, The Fillmore and Shepherd's Bush Empire are big enough to feel like events but small enough to sell out fast and keep the energy close. With "Heaven Baby" spreading well beyond Afrobeats audiences, we'd expect a few of these to be upgraded or doubled. The one miss for us: no West Coast Canada date, so Vancouver fans will need to look south to San Francisco or east to Toronto.
