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 Amsterdam 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 AFAS Live
AFAS Live is an indoor arena in Amsterdam Zuidoost, with a capacity of around 6,000. Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA station (train and metro) is a short walk away. The listed address is Arena Boulevard 590, Amsterdam.
As an indoor arena, it is weather-proof, but bag-size limits and cloakroom queues are common, so travel light.
Travelling to Amsterdam for the concert
Most visitors flying in for this show land at Schiphol Airport (AMS). A Tuesday 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 20:00 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.
