Tems Tour Dates 2026 — Full Schedule, Cities & Venues

Tems' touring framework has run on the Born In The Wild Tour structure since the album's June 2024 release through RCA Records — a global headline routing built around upper-end theatre and mid-cap arena rooms across North America, the United Kingdom, continental Europe, Africa, and Australia. The North American Tems leg has typically been the first announced, anchored by Radio City Music Hall in New York, the Greek Theatre or YouTube Theater in Los Angeles, History or Massey Hall in Toronto, the Chicago Theatre or Aragon Ballroom, the Coca-Cola Roxy or Tabernacle in Atlanta, the Bayou Music Center or 713 Music Hall in Houston, the Greek Theatre Berkeley or the Bill Graham Civic in the San Francisco Bay Area, and the upper-end theatre rooms across Boston, Washington, Philadelphia, Miami, Dallas, Seattle, Denver, and Phoenix. The UK and European Tems leg has anchored at the Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith and the OVO Arena Wembley in London, the AO Arena in Manchester, the Olympia in Dublin, the Zenith in Paris, the AFAS Live in Amsterdam, the Verti Music Hall in Berlin, the Sentrum Scene in Oslo, and the Annexet in Stockholm. The African leg has touched the Eko Hotel Convention Centre and Eko Atlantic open-air sites in Lagos around the Detty December festival window, plus Johannesburg and Cape Town configurations through the South African Afrobeats festival circuit. Australia and New Zealand Tems dates have anchored at the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney, the Forum Melbourne, and the Powerstation in Auckland. Future routing for the 2026 and 2027 cycle is expected to extend the Born In The Wild framework into the next album phase, with new Tems dates announced through the Tems mailing list and the Live Nation regional partners.

About Tems

Temilade Openiyi was born June 11, 1995 in Lagos, Nigeria, raised between Lagos and the United Kingdom in her early years, and returned to Lagos full-time as a teenager. The musical foundation was unusually broad for a Nigerian artist of her generation: church choir from childhood, classical piano lessons through her school years, and a Lagos adolescence absorbing the city's mix of gospel, R&B, Afro-pop, and the long shadow of Fela Kuti's Afrobeat. She studied economics at Monash University South Africa in Johannesburg, returned to Lagos with a degree, took a marketing job at a multinational while writing songs in the evenings, and put out her first independent single 'Mr Rebel' in 2018. The early Lagos buzz built through 2019 around 'Try Me' — a self-produced track that turned into a slow-burn local hit and that established the vocal-and-production identity that would carry the rest of the career. The 2020 Wizkid feature on 'Essence', released on his Made In Lagos album, was the cycle-defining moment. The song's slow rise through 2020 and 2021, capped by the Justin Bieber remix and the Hot 100 entry, opened the US Afrobeats conversation at a scale no previous Nigerian record had managed. The 2020 EP For Broken Ears and the 2021 EP If Orange Was a Place followed the trajectory — short-form releases that read more like statements than full-length albums, with 'Damages', 'Found' (with Brent Faiyaz), and 'Crazy Tings' extending the catalogue. The Drake and Future feature 'Wait For U' in 2022 became her first US number one as a featured artist and won the Grammy for Best Melodic Rap Performance. 'Lift Me Up' with Rihanna later that year, co-written by Tems alongside Ryan Coogler and Ludwig Goransson, was nominated for the Academy Award and the Golden Globe for Best Original Song; the Beyonce 'Cozy' co-writing credit on Renaissance landed in the same window. Born In The Wild, released through RCA in June 2024, was her debut full-length studio album — a long-form record tracing gospel, alt-R&B, and Afro-fusion through a single artist's voice, with 'Love Me JeJe' (interpolating Seyi Sodimu's 1997 Nigerian classic), 'Burning', and 'Free Fall' as lead singles. The world tour built out of the album cycle has run across North America, the UK, Europe, Africa, and Australia, with the venue tier sitting in the upper-end theatre and mid-cap arena range. She is signed to RCA Records globally and runs her own imprint, Leading Vibe Records, in parallel.
