London pop super star Dua Lipa kicked off her tour with the Australian and New Zealand leg yesterday. Her highly anticipated tour will consists of 55+ dates around the world, unveiling a longer setlist and brand new show production. Her Melbourne performance marked the first of her five-night run in the city before heading to Auckland and Sydney.
Keeping true to her dynamic stage presence and sensual visuals, Dua opened the show with her tunes ‘Training Season’ and ‘End Of An Era’ from her latest studio album ‘Radical Optimism’. The pop artists also gave homage to Australia’s very own AC/DC with a surprise cover of ‘Highway To Hell’, leaving her fans in awe. She closed out the show with chart-topping songs ‘Don’t Start Now’ and ‘Houdini’, delivering a show to remember.
The world tour supports the singer’s third studio album ‘Radical Optimism’, released in May 2024. The album went number 1 in 12 countries including the UK where it became the biggest album debut from a UK female artist since Adele, although not being nominated for a Grammy later on in the same year.
The year 2024 was huge for the artists with milestones such as a headline performance on Glastonbury’s famous Pyramid Stage and her first primetime concert special An Evening With Dua Lipa filmed live at The Royal Albert Hall, followed by the tour kickoff of the Asian leg in Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul and more.
Dua will travel back to Europe in May after her Australian dates before returning to North America in September. The tour consists of multiple nights in most cities, including a four-night run at legendary Madison Square Garden in New York City, two sold-out shows at Wembley Stadium in her native city of London and another four-night run at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
