The spectacular show airs on demand on Showmax from Thursday, 30 January 2025, in celebration of the Amapiano superstar’s 23rd birthday.

The hour-long concert will air on DStv on Mzansi Wethu (Channel 163) at 20:30 on Saturday, 1 February 2025 with a repeat on Tuesday, 4 February 2025 at 16:00.

Mzansi Wethu is included in all DStv packages from Access and up. Tyla Live will also appear on other DStv channels across the continent. 

This was the last South African concert in Tyla’s homecoming tour. The "pretty girl from Joburg" had a lot to celebrate with her fans, including wins at the Grammy, BET, and MTV Music Video Awards, not to mention more than 1.6 billion streams of her chart-topping, self-titled debut album last year. 

Tyla Live was produced by Black Swan Media with technical support from SuperSport’s award-winning operations team. Leveraging the power of Peacock technology, the landmark event wasn’t just about the concert; it was a statement of what’s possible for African entertainment. 

“This was a technological feat. Scaling to support viewers across 44 countries simultaneously required robust preparation, war-room coordination, and a tech team working around the clock. It’s a game-changer for African artists who have rarely managed to tour the continent. We’re now taking this incredible concert to millions of DStv viewers, making it an event that lives beyond the live stream,”says Yatish Narsi, Chief Marketing Officer for MultiChoice and Showmax South Africa.
