Stop whatever you’re doing! Ayra Starr and Tyla are hitting the Global Citizen Festival stage in New York this September and y’all, this is not a drill. This isn’t just any lineup; it’s Lagos meets NYC swag on a global stage with a side of activism.
Ayra Starr, the teen queen turned headliner, will serve vocals and vibes straight from her debut album. Expect fire tracks and feel-good energy that will have the crowd humming “Bloody Samaritan” all the way back to Lagos.

Then there’s Tyla, the viral sensation behind “Water.” She’s bringing her amapiano-fused heat from Stellenbosch to the Hudson, proving that a dip in the pool can spawn global bops and TikTok dominance. Global Citizen isn’t about good music; it’s about doing good. So alongside the bops, we’re talking about climate action, equity, and empowering youth.
Get ready for an all-African takeover. Two young women, unstoppable energy, and a message that change is non-negotiable. If you’re anywhere near NYC on September 28, get your tickets, this combo will go down in culturally historic fashion.
