Dua Lipa, a three-time GRAMMY Award winner and seven-time BRIT Award winner, today announced that next year she will kick off her worldwide tour Radical Optimism Tour 2025, which will feature over 40 new concerts in Australia, New Zealand, North America, Europe, and Great Britain.
The tour announcement follows the highly anticipated debut of the singer on the Pyramid Stage as the main headliner on Friday night at the Glastonbury Festival 2024 this summer. The BBC praised her performance, stating: “Dua hit every mark with the precision of someone who has been preparing for this moment for years.” Following her electrifying set at Glastonbury, she immediately sold out two consecutive nights at the iconic London venue Wembley Stadium, scheduled for June 2025. Dua has reached a new peak in her career, with fan interest at a record high.
The worldwide tour supports her third studio album Radical Optimism, which was released on May 3, 2024, under Warner Records. The album debuted at number one in 11 countries, including Great Britain, where it became the biggest album debut by a British artist in 2024 and achieved the highest weekly sales for a British female artist since 2021. In the USA, the album debuted at number one on the Billboard Top Album Sales chart and number two on the Billboard 200 chart, marking the largest sales week to date. The New York Times described it as “a nonstop candy store for the ears”, while Variety declared it a “joyful explosion of pop cleverness”. The New Yorker further praised that “the instrumentation is radiant and impenetrable, and the main draw is Lipa.”
