Tems sparks buzz with mysterious late-night event in Los Angeles

Tems Sparks Anticipation With Surprise Release Event Set for Los Angeles

Nigerian global superstar Tems has sent fans and the music industry into a frenzy after announcing a “Surprise Release Event’’ scheduled to take place in Los Angeles on Thursday, November 20, 2025.

According to an invitation quietly circulating online, the exclusive late-night gathering will run from 10 PM to 2 AM.

While Tems has kept the details tightly under wraps, the event’s timing has immediately fueled speculation. The four-hour window leads directly into the start of New Music Friday, the industry’s universal release period beginning at 12:00 AM local time. The overlap has led many to believe that the singer may be preparing to drop new music or unveil a major project right at midnight.

Tems, who recently performed in Los Angeles during the Camp Flog Gnaw festival held November 15–16, is believed to already be in the city for music-related engagements. Her last major release, Born in the Wild (2024), marked her debut album and followed a breakout year that included a Grammy win, high-profile collaborations, and a rapidly expanding global fanbase.

The invitation has stirred immediate excitement among fans and industry insiders. Many see this as a signal that Tems is entering a new chapter of her career. The singer is known for hosting intimate but high-profile events similar to the private listening session held for Born in the Wild, which featured appearances from Don Jazzy, Pheelz, Fave, and other major industry figures.

For now, Tems has kept the mystery alive, leaving fans guessing about what exactly she plans to reveal. But one thing is clear: if the speculation is correct, this could become one of the most talked-about surprise drops of the year.
