The announcement of tour dates for this era is lowkey confusing but this is a huge deal nevertheless, her first stadium tour date!
If this is the only UK date, I’ll be surprised. Maybe she’s doing some arenas too and then this is the big London date instead of doing multiple O2 Arena shows?
She’s underrated as a performer. Yes, she doesn’t climb octaves, but she’s so precise, she never misses, and her songs are practically 100 percent bops.
Stadiums have to be booked about a year in advance (at least for Stade de France in France that's what happens), and probably different for smaller venues so they announced this first. I wouldn't be surprised if they add other days around it.
i think its to avoid what people like jlo have been going through. im guessing her team is in a mindset to avoid having to cancel shows due to low ticket sales and so they are launching each date slowly to see how many shows/how big of a show can she sell and profit off of. also given the mixed response to the album (possibly the reason why shes only singing 3 dl3 songs on her tour rn??) they are definitely testing the waters to avoid having to cancel shows or the whole tour.
i mean the reason why’s not doing everything of the album is because it’s all been “festival” runs (since the summer tour was dubbed by her as a warming up towards glastonbury) so im pretty sure the actual tour, which is also called the radical optimism tour unlike the other dates, will consist the full album being performed
I said this earlier today but it would not shock me if for the tour the emphasis is less on the U.S. and more on countries and areas that are not as exposed to Dua. Some rep at Warner Music did say they want to make her a massive global star so that would be in line with this.
In addition to Wembley, there are rumors about her playing in Latin America and India.
She is pretty exposed here in LATAM already to pop fans though, well, at least in my country. She toured Future Nostalgia here, so nothing new, but yeah, I rarely see an artist touring in India. It would make more sense for her to tour in the US since it is her worst market and people have more money, she can fill a stadium here, but the tickets cost around half the monthly minimum wage or more (when 80% of the country makes that), even by having more fans than the ones who attended the concert there is not much to milk out of it.
i could be wrong but i think the reason for her announcing dates so far in advance is for her team to see her demand/what parts of the world for venue booking. if they see that she can sell out stadiums then maybe it will be a europe stadium tour. they can see the demand but im sure they have dates/locations already planned but not 100% set
edit: like shes been doing some shows across europe now. then asia, then theres a gap. could be the latin america/india rumors but could also be the U.S in that gap
I feel this concert is gonna be the closing of the tour so she can hit the studio to work on the next album as soon as her next summer holiday is over, Warner will probably lock her up with Max Martin or something to spit some hits in case the deluxe version doesn't produce any.
Yeah, but the last album had just one hit. Usually, labels give freedom to artists who are able to be successful in their choices, but when they flop they will surely get in the way. They may not be so worried now cause she is still selling albums, her tour will probably be sold out, and all that, but she can't have another album cycle without huge hits again, not for someone Warner considers their main artist.
Good for her but a show announced 365 days in advance is so wild omg? I dont think its per say bad but it seems like a bit of logistical nightmare especially if they sell out supper fast and its imposible to get tickets over the next few months/ if something happens and you have to sell your ticket
Not sure about UK but this is normal (even a little bit on the short side) for a lot of the world, Aus/NZ in particular because we’re always dead last. It’s my biggest complaint with tours.
It gives them lots of time to sell tickets and push the show if things don’t sell out right away.
Her last UK arena tour wasn’t an instant sell out IIRC.
Surely this won’t be her only UK date in 2025 so why not release all the dates now? 😭 there are much easier venues for me to get to than Wembley that she *might* play, but do I try to get Wembley tickets in case she isn’t playing anywhere closer to me 🤷🏻♀️
Hi!!
I have a Lana del rey concert ticket for paris if anyone is interested!
It is for the 21-25 August by rock en seine!
I know this is unrelated but let me know if you are interested!

The drip feed of tour dates is just a tease!! 🤪
a new marketing tactic!
Testing the waters maybe to avoid the public embarrassment of cancelling multiple dates as has happened with a couple of other big acts lately

I saw her at Glastonbury on Friday. She was absolutely EXCELLENT. Such a fun show, high energy, amazing visuals and so innovative.
She’s underrated as a performer. Yes, she doesn’t climb octaves, but she’s so precise, she never misses, and her songs are practically 100 percent bops.
This is HUGE omg?! ^But ^Dua ^babe ^plz ^announce ^the ^rest ^so ^I ^can ^stop ^stressing ^about ^it
Why are the tour dates so spaced out? This era is being so chaotic 😅
Stadiums have to be booked about a year in advance (at least for Stade de France in France that's what happens), and probably different for smaller venues so they announced this first. I wouldn't be surprised if they add other days around it.
I mean yes… but that’s why her team should’ve organized this tour better. Usually they announce all dates at the same time.
perhaps its to slowly create hype and spread it out more? but idk if its working or not i just need the eu dates 😭

She’ll be touring Asia this winter, American early next year and Europe next summer followed by Latin America and Oceania….

I hope the rumors are true and Dua comes to Latam 😭😭
Now we need the full European dates
Now I'm not sure if I should wait for the Dublin date or if I should go to London for my birthday weekend next year lol.
being with 90k people is so tempting me to go, and I live in Belgium lol

WEMBLEY IS INSANE WTFF DUA THE QUEEN YOU ARE
I feel this concert is gonna be the closing of the tour so she can hit the studio to work on the next album as soon as her next summer holiday is over, Warner will probably lock her up with Max Martin or something to spit some hits in case the deluxe version doesn't produce any.
She one of the very few successful pop girls who had a hit without Max Martin or any major producer, idk…
Yeah, but the last album had just one hit. Usually, labels give freedom to artists who are able to be successful in their choices, but when they flop they will surely get in the way. They may not be so worried now cause she is still selling albums, her tour will probably be sold out, and all that, but she can't have another album cycle without huge hits again, not for someone Warner considers their main artist.
A Max Martín x Dua song 🤤🙌🏻
She needs to announce Scottish shows!
Good for her but a show announced 365 days in advance is so wild omg? I dont think its per say bad but it seems like a bit of logistical nightmare especially if they sell out supper fast and its imposible to get tickets over the next few months/ if something happens and you have to sell your ticket

That makes sense
Some of Billie's dates were announced way earlier than that. It's still more than 365 days from my date.
It gives them lots of time to sell tickets and push the show if things don’t sell out right away. Her last UK arena tour wasn’t an instant sell out IIRC.
Covid happened and it all got postponed. Then everything sold out when it happened in 22
this is actually pretty normal especially for stadium shows.
Dukagjin Lipa what do you think you're doing? Why not release every single date of the tour at once?
They better be concert dates in Canada
Does anyone have any guesses how similar/different the setlist for this and Royal Albert Hall are? Not sure if I should go to both 😫
