Nigerian music star and Mavin Records standout Ayra Starr has officially launched her Summer 2025 Tour.

Taking to Instagram on July 1, 2025, Ayra unveiled her ongoing tour schedule, which has already seen major performances across North America, with more stadium dates to come, including a landmark collaboration with Coldplay.

Ayra Starr kicked off the tour on June 20 with a show-stopping performance at the Summerjam Festival in New Jersey, captivating thousands with her signature blend of Afrobeats, R&B, and pop. A week later, on June 28, she lit up the St. Kitts Music Festival, further cementing her presence in the Caribbean market, which continues to embrace Afrobeats with open arms.

On July 1, Ayra brought her dynamic energy to the Montreal Jazz Festival, one of Canada’s most prestigious summer music events, drawing praise from both fans and jazz enthusiasts for seamlessly blending modern African rhythms into the traditionally genre-diverse lineup.

The most notable part of the Summer 2025 Tour is Ayra’s upcoming stadium run with British pop-rock legends Coldplay. Sharing stages with Coldplay places Ayra Starr in elite company and exposes her to an even wider mainstream audience.

The tour underscores Ayra Starr’s strategic and artistic growth. From her breakout single “Bloody Samaritan” to her acclaimed album The Year I Turned 21, she’s emerged as a generational talent who fuses lyrical maturity with an arresting stage presence.

By including major U.S. festivals, Caribbean markets, and high-profile stadium tours in one summer leg, Ayra is effectively expanding the Afrobeats blueprint — taking it from club settings and afro-centric concerts to stadiums and international mainstream events.

So far, the fan response has been massive, with social media buzz building around her live vocals, dynamic choreography, and magnetic stage command. Clips from her Montreal set trended on TikTok, and early reviews from Summerjam attendees have praised her as “the future of global pop with an African pulse.”

Additional tour dates, including potential stops in Europe and Africa, are expected to be announced soon, along with exclusive behind-the-scenes content and possible collaborative performances on the Coldplay leg.

Tickets for most dates are already available via official outlets, while select presale access and VIP packages are being released through her fan club and Mavin Records’ official platforms.
