‘Starrgirl’ Album Features ZAYN, Wizkid and Rema

The tour supports Starrgirl, a 16-track album released on August 14, 2026, through Mavin Records and Republic Records.

The album features collaborations with ZAYN, Leon Thomas, Wizkid, Rema, kwn, Danny Ocean and Theodora. The combination of Nigerian and international artists gives the project a broad musical reach and provides several collaborations that audiences may be interested in hearing performed live.

Live Nation reported that the album debuted at number two on Spotify's Global Top Albums Chart, recording 3.9 million streams on its first full day. The figures highlight the project's reported performance during its opening day, although streaming numbers alone do not establish how many people will attend the tour.

Alongside the international tour announcement, Ayra Starr indicated that African fans would also see her in December.

In an Instagram post quoted by the News Agency of Nigeria, the singer wrote: “STARRGIRL WORLD TOUR. Africa, I’ll see y’all in December.”

The statement will interest fans across the continent who may be unable to attend the European or North American shows. However, the full African schedule, including specific cities, venues and performance dates, has not been established by the information currently available.

The announcement follows Ayra Starr's performance during the Philadelphia Eagles–Jacksonville Jaguars NFL International Game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on October 11, 2026.

Her appearance at the event and the subsequent tour announcement add to her growing international profile and provide another opportunity to bring Nigerian music to audiences overseas.
