On stage, she is using Asia as her latest proof of concept. Mid Day and Hindustan Times report that Tyla made her **India debut** at the Indian Sneaker Festival in Mumbai, performing Water, Push2Start, Chanel, Truth or Dare, Dynamite, Art, Is It, Jump and Show Me Love, opening with a cheerful “Namaste Mumbai” and promising to return with a much bigger show.[2][12] Styled in a custom, saree inspired glitter look hand made by Indian fashion creator Nancy Tyagi, bindi included, she turned the night into a fashion moment that quickly migrated online.[2][4][12] The New Indian Express Indulge section notes that on December 8 she reposted a viral reel praising what Indian women wore to her show and shouted out the “Indian baddies” on X and Instagram, amplifying fan culture around her Mumbai stop.[4]

Regionally, The National reports that at Saudi Arabia’s Soundstorm 2025 festival in Riyadh, Tyla “stepped up to the main stage” as a headliner, debuting slick, big budget performances of Water, Truth or Dare, Art and new single Chanel, a sign that her team is actively scaling her from club phenom to full blown festival mainstay.[6]
