North American fans of Dua Lipa who’ve been clamoring for the U.S. to get a piece of the “Radical Optimism” tour will get their day… but they’ll have to wait for it, as Lipa won’t be coming to the States until September and October of 2025.
The pop superstar announced 20 dates in the U.S. and Canada for the fall of next year on Thursday, as part of a broader tour announcement that also included concerts she is adding onto her tour in Europe and other parts of the world starting in March.
The first U.S. shows will be Sept. 5-6 in Chicago, followed by similar two-nights stands in Boston Sept. 9-10, Atlanta Sept. 13-14, New York Sept. 17-18, Miami Sept, 26-27, Dallas Sept. 30-Oct. 1, Los Angeles Oct. 4-5, San Francisco Oct. 11-12 and Seattle Oct. 15-16. She has Canadian dates just prior to hitting the U.S., but not many — she’ll do two nights in Toronto next Sept. 1-2.
For anyone who absolutely, positively can’t wait to see Lipa in the U.S., she did already have two shows booked for North America this fall, on separate weekends of the Austin City Limits Music Festival in Texas, Oct. 5 and 12.
These dates only begin to get at the market that exists for Lipa in North America. The tour art for the newly added tour legs does promise “more dates to be announced.” But that may not necessarily mean the additional shows yet to come will be in the U.S.; a press release specifies that South American shows will be announced at a later date. Generally speaking, there may be more international demand for Lipa’s live services than she’ll be able to meet this album cycle.
The singer is looking to saturate overseas territories to the extent possible before belatedly hitting the U.S. Her newly added tour dates for the spring and summer of 2025 include shows in London, Liverpool, Milan, Amsterdam, Munich, Prague, Paris, Lyon, Madrid, Antwerp and Auckland.
The new shows are in addition to concerts Lipa already had on the books for the remainder of 2024, mostly in Asian territories. Starting Nov. 5, through Dec. 5, she’ll be visiting Tokyo, Singapore, Bangkok, Seoul, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, Manila and Jakarta.
“Radical Optimism” was released May 3 by Warner Records, as the followup to her smash 2020 “Future Nostalgia” album. A deluxe version with newly recorded additional tracks is said to be in the works but has not officially confirmed as of yet.
