Tems to Headline First Australian Tour with Sydney Show “Born in the Wild”

Nigerian music sensation Tems is set to bring her powerful vocals and electrifying stage presence to Australia for the very first time. The Grammy-winning artist will headline her inaugural Australian tour in 2024, including a much-anticipated performance in Sydney, as part of her “Born in the Wild” tour.

Tems, who has become one of the most prominent voices in global music, announced the tour on November 16, 2024, with fans eagerly awaiting the opportunity to see the Afrobeat superstar perform live in Australia. Known for her unique blend of Afrobeat, R&B, and soul, Tems has quickly risen to international stardom, thanks to hit songs like “Free Mind,” “Essence” (with Wizkid), and her contributions to Beyoncé’s The Lion King: The Gift album.

The tour, which kicks off in Sydney on February 9, 2024, will see Tems perform in major Australian cities, marking a significant milestone in her career as she extends her influence beyond African and American markets.

Sydney’s show is set to be an unforgettable night of music, energy, and connection, with the artist promising a high-energy performance infused with her signature style.

A New Chapter for Tems

Since her breakout into the global music scene in 2020, Tems has become a symbol of the Afrobeat movement’s growing international appeal. Her collaborations with high-profile artists like Drake and Future on the hit song “Wait for U” and her work with Wizkid on “Essence” helped propel her into the spotlight. Both tracks have achieved worldwide success, with “Essence” in particular garnering attention as one of the most-streamed songs globally in 2021.

Her debut Australian performance marks another milestone in her already impressive career, with Tems becoming one of the most sought-after artists in the world today. Known for her distinctive voice, emotive lyrics, and powerful live performances, the 28-year-old artist has amassed a dedicated fanbase across the globe. Her style blends elements of contemporary African sounds with soulful melodies, creating a unique musical identity that resonates with listeners worldwide.

The upcoming tour will be the first time that fans in Australia will experience Tems’ magic on stage. She has long been one of the most requested artists for an Australian tour, and the announcement of the “Born in the Wild” tour is a dream come true for many who have followed her rise.

The name of the tour, “Born in the Wild,” is a fitting tribute to Tems’ own journey through the music industry, where she rose from humble beginnings in Lagos, Nigeria, to international fame. The tour title reflects her growth as an artist and her determination to overcome challenges while staying true to her roots. Tems’ music often explores themes of self-discovery, love, empowerment, and spirituality, with her lyrics offering a deep, personal reflection of her experiences.

This tour is a reflection of my journey, and I’m so grateful to be able to share that with everyone. ‘Born in the Wild’ is all about embracing who we are and celebrating our roots, and I’m ready to give it all on stage.”

The Australian leg of the tour will feature an intimate yet dynamic stage show, showcasing Tems’ distinctive voice, her backing band, and visuals that complement the emotional depth of her music. The performances will draw from her debut EP For Broken Ears, her chart-topping singles, and her latest work, highlighting the evolution of an artist who has earned critical acclaim across multiple genres.
