THE LIVE SHOW
What Tyla concerts are like
A Tyla concert is a dance-focused party. She performs with a team of dancers through Water, Truth or Dare, Jump and Push 2 Start, blending amapiano log-drum beats with pop and R&B.
Water is the moment everyone waits for, with the crowd copying the famous dance. The set is compact because her catalogue is still young, but the energy stays high, and she often speaks proudly about South Africa between songs. Her dancers are central to the show, and the choreography matters as much as the vocals.
Tips for the Manchester show
- Learn the Water dance; the crowd does it together.
- The headline set is relatively short, so arrive in time for the support act.
New to the music? Her album Tyla covers almost every song in the set.

Getting to O2 Apollo Manchester
O2 Apollo Manchester is the venue for Tyla's Manchester show. The listed address is Stockport Road, Manchester. Check the venue's entry times and bag policy before the day, and plan your route home in advance, as large concerts often finish when public transport is at its busiest.
Travelling to Manchester for the concert
Most visitors flying in for this show land at Manchester Airport (MAN). A Monday date usually means less competition for rooms than at the weekend, but getting home the same night after a weekday concert is hard, so staying over is the safer plan.
With a 19:00 start, the show will end late in the evening. Check the last train or bus back to where you are staying before you set off, and fly in the day before so a delayed flight does not cost you the concert.
