MELBOURNE/ AUCKLAND – Thursday, September 19: 3x GRAMMY and 7x BRIT Award-winning global pop powerhouse Dua Lipa last week announced a global 2025 run on her Radical Optimism Tour including arena shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland in March/April 2025.

Due to extraordinary demand for tickets during the pre-sale period, further shows have been announced for all cities – a fourth and final show has just been added in Melbourne, a third show has been confirmed for Sydney and now a second show has been added to the New Zealand tour in Auckland.

Tickets to the newly added shows will be available from tomorrow during the general on sale for all shows commencing Friday, September 20 at 1pm local time at dualipa.com.

Dua Lipa performs in Melbourne at Rod Laver Arena Wednesday, March 19, Thursday, March 20, Saturday, March 22 and Sunday March 23 followed by Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on Wednesday, March 26, Friday, March 28 and Saturday, March 29 before travelling to New Zealand for two shows at Auckland’s Spark Arena on Wednesday April 2 and Friday, April 4.

The tour follows Dua’s highly anticipated debut on the Pyramid Stage as the Friday night headliner at the 2024 Glastonbury Festival earlier this summer. The BBC praised her performance, saying, “Dua hit every mark with the precision of someone who had been preparing for this moment for years.” Following her electric Glastonbury set, she immediately sold out two consecutive nights at London’s iconic Wembley Stadium set for June 2025. Dua has reached a new pinnacle in her career, with fan demand at an all-time high.

The Radical Optimism Tour will kick off with previously announced shows in Asia, including stops in Singapore, Jakarta, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur and more before wrapping up on Thursday, December 5 in Seoul, Korea at Gocheok Sky Dome. The 2025 dates begin Thursday, March 20 in Melbourne, Australia at Rod Laver Arena, and include performances in Sydney, Auckland, Madrid, Hamburg, Paris, Amsterdam, London, Dublin, Toronto, Chicago, New York, Miami, Los Angeles, and many more before concluding in Seattle on Thursday, October 16 at Climate Pledge Arena. Prior to the tour kickoff in Asia, Dua will headline Austin City Limits in Austin, TX on October 5 and October 12.

The global tour supports Dua’s third studio album, Radical Optimism, which was released May 3, 2024 via Warner Records. The album went straight to No. 1 in 11 countries, including the UK where it became the biggest album debut from a UK 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 Dua’s biggest sales week yet. It was named a Critic’s Pick by The New York Times, who hailed it as “an album of nonstop ear candy,” along with Variety, who declared it is “a joyous blast of pop savvy.” Additionally, The New Yorker praised, “the instrumentation is a gleaming and impenetrable expanse, and the main attraction is Lipa,” and Vogue raved it is “a summery, self-assured slice of pop brilliance…[and] catchy as hell.”
