Dua Lipa has unveiled the full schedule for her 2025 Radical Optimism world tour, including a return to Australia in March. The UK pop sensation has confirmed two initial dates: Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Thursday, March 20th, and Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on Wednesday, March 26th. Given the close spacing of these dates and her history of multiple shows at these venues, additional dates in both cities are anticipated in the coming weeks.
The tour will also bring Lipa back to New Zealand, where she is set to perform at Auckland’s Spark Arena on Wednesday, April 2nd. More details about this show are available on the Spark Arena website.
The tour is named after Lipa’s third studio album, Radical Optimism, released in May. The album features collaborations with Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker, hyperpop producer Danny L Harle, Ian Kirkpatrick, and Andrew Wyatt of Miike Snow. It spawned three top ten UK singles: ‘Houdini,’ ‘Training Season,’ and ‘Illusion,’ with ‘Houdini’ reaching number two. The album itself topped the UK charts and made the top five in several countries, including Australia.
Pre-sale tickets for the Australian dates will be available starting Thursday, September 19th at 2 pm AEST, with general sales beginning at 1 pm AEST on Friday, September 20th through Live Nation Australia.
