Nigerian Afropop/R&B sensation Ayra Starr is set to embark on her first headlining tour, bringing her electrifying performances to audiences around the world. The tour will kick off in Charlotte on September 6, marking a significant milestone in the rising star's career. Ayra gained international recognition with the release of her debut self-titled EP in January 2021, followed by her debut studio album, "19 & Dangerous," in August of the same year.
