Nigerian singer Ayra Starr has headlined one concert tour and served as a supporting act on two major world tours. She has performed at several music, arts, and culture festivals, as well as on televised shows across Africa, Middle East, Europe, North America, and Oceania. Following the release of her self-titled debut EP in January 2021 and her first studio album 19 & Dangerous that August, Starr began appearing at international events including Gurtenfestival, Afrochella, Dreamville Festival, Couleur Café, and Rolling Loud, among others. That year, she launched her first headlining concert series, 21: The World Tour, in support of 19 & Dangerous and its deluxe edition, becoming the youngest African female artist to achieve this feat. The tour spanned 19 countries across four continents, with stops at prominent venues such as Webster Hall, New York and Koko, London. It earned generally positive reviews, with critics praising Starr’s vocal ability, stage presence, and rapport with audiences.

Following the release of her second studio album The Year I Turned 21 on May 31, 2024, Starr expanded her presence worldwide through high-profile festival appearances and tour collaborations. She opened for Chris Brown during the North American leg of his 11:11 Tour, performing in cities including Detroit, Chicago, New York, and Toronto. On June 29, 2024, she became the first African female artist to perform on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival, earning widespread acclaim for her 45-minute set.[1] Later that year, she headlined Flytime Fest in Lagos, performing “Away” and “Sability,” and joined Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour for its Australia, New Zealand, US, Canada and UK shows.[2]

In 2025, Starr continued her run of major appearances, headlining Montreal Jazz Festival, Global Citizen Festival and Afro Nation Punta Cana, after co-headlining the Summer Jam. Her television performances include The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she made her U.S. television debut performing "Last Heartbreak Song" and "Woman Commando," and NBC’s Today show, where she performed "Good Feelings" alongside Coldplay. She has also been featured on MTV Push, GRAMMY.com’s Global Spin series, Genius Open Mic, YouTube Live, and VevoDSCVR Artists to Watch.
