Three-time GRAMMY Award winner and seven-time BRIT Award winner, global pop sensation Dua Lipa, has announced her 2025 Radical Optimism Tour, which will feature over 40 new dates across Australia, New Zealand, North America, Europe, and the UK. Additional performances in South America will be revealed at a later date.

The Australia and New Zealand segments of the Radical Optimism Tour will commence on Thursday, March 20, at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, followed by a performance at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on Wednesday, March 26. The leg will conclude on Wednesday, April 2, at Auckland’s Spark Arena.

Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism, her third studio effort, dropped on May 3, 2024, and it didn’t just land — it detonated. Released via Warner Records, the album surged to No. 1 in 11 countries. In the UK, it wasn’t just another chart-topper; it became the biggest album debut by a UK artist in 2024. It shattered records for week-one sales by a UK female artist, a feat that hadn’t been seen since 2021. Across the Atlantic, Radical Optimism stormed Billboard, debuting at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart and clinching No. 2 on the Billboard 200, marking the high point of Lipa’s career in terms of pure numbers.
