Watch Ayra Starr Perform “Heaven Baby” Live at All Points East With ZAYN on Screen

Ayra Starr just proved that when you can’t bring your duet partner on stage, you bring the next best thing—a giant screen and undeniable star power. The Nigerian sensation lit up London’s Victoria Park during the All Points East 2026 festival, delivering a captivating live rendition of “Heaven Baby” that had the crowd completely mesmerized.

Making the cross-continental collaboration work in real-time, Ayra commanded the stage solo while ZAYN’s vocals flooded the space through a massive display screen behind her. The former One Direction member appeared via pre-recorded footage, performing his verse straight into the camera as if he were right there in the park. It was a clever workaround that maintained the intimacy of their duet while showcasing Ayra’s ability to hold down a festival crowd on her own terms. “Heaven Baby” is one of the standout moments from her third studio album Starrgirl, which dropped on streaming platforms August 14, 2026. The track blends Afrobeats sensuality with global pop smoothness, creating a romantic soundscape that explores love, devotion, and that intoxicating feeling of being completely swept away.

Visually, Ayra came dressed to match the moment. She stepped out in a futuristic metallic silver and purple two-piece ensemble that perfectly aligned with the Starrgirl album aesthetic. The structured outfit featured a white bralette beneath silver-and-purple sculpted panels connected to a bold high-neck choker, paired with a matching mini skirt and knee-high metallic boots. Her hair was styled in an ultra-long high ponytail that cascaded past her waist, topped off with bronzed, glossy glam that caught the festival lights just right. From her vocals to her stage presence to her fashion choices, Ayra Starr reminded everyone why she’s one of Afrobeats’ most exciting global exports right now.
