A quiet room for Tems
Tems' concerts rely more on voice and atmosphere than on heavy production. Mid-sized venues and theatres can suit the detail of her voice better than large arenas.
In standing venues your spot near the stage depends on the queue at doors; in seated venues, the middle rows facing the stage give the most balanced sound.
London, Lagos or the US
London is the European centre of the Afrobeats scene and a strong audience for Tems. Lagos shows carry a hometown atmosphere but need more careful travel planning.
Work out the ticket, flight and accommodation together before deciding.
Tems upcoming dates
Four thoughts before buying Tems tickets
- Prioritise mid-sized venues for a voice-led night.
- Separate a festival set from a solo concert.
- In a seated venue, choose the middle rows facing the stage.
- Compare the London price on total trip cost.
What to know before the show
- Voice and atmosphere are at the heart of the night.
- Free Mind becomes a big singalong.
- Festival sets can be short.
- Never share your barcode.
Planning a trip to see Tems
Secure the official Tems ticket before booking a non-refundable flight. Aim to arrive no later than the day before the show and stay somewhere with a reliable late route back from the venue.
Compare at least two cities using the full cost of the ticket, flight, two nights of accommodation and post-show transport. A cheaper ticket can still produce the more expensive trip.
Keep planning
