Nigerian Afropop superstar Ayra Starr has arrived in Lusaka, Zambia, ahead of a massive weekend of performances. The “Rush” hitmaker touched down at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport at approximately 14:30 hours on Thursday, September 17, 2026.
Her visit, hosted by Bplatinum Events, features two major shows. On Friday, September 18, she will make a special appearance at the highly anticipated All White Party. The following day, Saturday, September 19, she will headline the Africa Connect Concert at the Polo Fields, Showgrounds in Lusaka.
Starr joins a star-studded lineup that includes Congolese rhumba legend Awilo Longomba, Tanzanian superstar Diamond Platnumz—who also arrived today—and Malawian singer Driemo. The event promises a diverse mix of Afropop, rhumba, and Bongo Flava.
The double-event weekend is expected to draw thousands of fans to the Zambian capital. Starr, who recently released her third studio album Starrgirl, continues a busy period that has included festival appearances and a forthcoming NFL London halftime show.
Tickets for both events remain available locally through Computicket and Tessera.
