Dua Lipa’s “Radical Optimism Tour” kicks off in Australia, on the heels of her new duet with Blackpink’s Jennie, “Handlebars.”
The global tour supports Dua’s third studio album, Radical Optimism, which was released in May last year via Warner Records. The album went to No. 1 in 12 countries, including the UK where it became the biggest album debut from a UK female artist in 2024, and garnered the highest week-one sales from a UK female artist since 2021. In the US, the album debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart and No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart, marking the artist’s biggest sales week yet.
Beyond her album release, 2024 was a milestone year for Dua Lipa, featuring headline performances at Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage in the UK and Austin City Limits in Texas. In addition, it featured her first prime time concert special, “An Evening with Dua Lipa,” filmed at the Royal Albert Hall. She also kicked off the Asia leg of her Radical Optimism Tour, with stops in Singapore, Jakarta, Tokyo, Seoul, and more.
The Radical Optimism Tour continues this Wednesday, March 19, with Dua’s second show at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, followed by three more performances at the venue. After wrapping up in Sydney and Auckland, she’ll kick off the European/UK leg in May before returning to North American in September. The tour features multiple nights in most cities, including two sold-out shows at Wembley Stadium in London and four-night runs at both New York’s Madison Square Garden and the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
