Dua Lipa announces Australian tour in 2025 – but fans are left furious as popstar snubs two major cities

Dua Lipa announces Australian tour in 2025 - but fans are left furious as popstar snubs two major cities

As a die-hard Dua Lipa fan from Brisbane, I can’t help but feel a tad disappointed with the announcement of her 2025 Radical Optimism World Tour. It seems like my city has fallen off the map, or at least the tour planner’s map! I’ve been to countless concerts in Brisbane over the years, and it’s always a treat when international stars decide to grace our sunny shores.


Dua Lipa has upset some of her Australian fans by leaving out two significant Australian cities from her 2025 Radical Optimism World Tour itinerary.

On a recent announcement, it’s been confirmed that the popular singer, who is 29 years old, plans to give concerts in both Melbourne and Sydney, which will take place on a future Friday.

Many enthusiasts rushed to comment on the announcement, asking why a three-time Grammy Award winner decided not to include Brisbane and Perth in their tour schedule, instead scheduling just two Australian shows.

One individual posted, ‘Perth seems absent from the Australian map,’ while another expressed, ‘Brisbane often feels overlooked.’

A third added: ‘Cause F Perth am I right?’

As a devoted fan of Queensland, I couldn’t help but feel a strong sense of disappointment when my favorite international stars chose to overlook our city during their tours Down Under. After all, Brisbane is a regular stopover for these stars, and it holds a special place in the hearts of many fans like me.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d like to clarify that the city you’re inquiring about is indeed Brisbane. It’s the third-largest city in Australia, nestled on the east coast of Queensland. Some users might have been expressing curiosity or surprise when they asked where it was, while others seemed eager for attention and updates related to this vibrant city. I hope this helps clear up any confusion!

Others wrote: ‘Only 2 dates is crazy work.’

‘Any chance the rest of Australia will get dates?’ yet another added.

Starting March 20, 2025, Dua’s Global Tour of Radical Optimism sets off in Melbourne at the Rod Laver Arena. After that, she’ll be at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on March 26.

Among the stops on her expansive world tour, they represent the sole Australian dates. Following this, she departs for New Zealand performances starting on April 2nd, followed by global travel thereafter.

Yet, Dua made it clear to her global fanbase that more tour dates are imminently coming up, leaving Australian fans eagerly anticipating an extended visit from her.

Ticket presales for American Express and Dua will open on Wednesday, September 18 at 11am and Thursday, September 19 at 12 pm respectively.

Pre-sale for Live Nation tickets begins on Thursday, September 19 at 2 PM, ahead of public ticket sales starting on Friday, September 20 at 1 PM.

Dua will be showcasing her newest album “Radical Optimism” during her forthcoming global tour, where she’ll give performances across Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States as well.

The popular music sensation is thriving and advancing even more, as her concert tour builds upon her successful debut as a headliner at the Pyramid Stage during the 2024 Glastonbury Festival in June.

Following an outstanding show, the BBC commended her act by saying she nailed each aspect as if she had spent years meticulously preparing for this specific occasion.

After electrifying my performance at Glastonbury, I promptly booked and sold out two straight nights at the legendary Wembley Stadium in London, slated for June 2025. It’s a thrill to be part of such an iconic venue’s history!
