Chicago, IL – Pop sensation Dua Lipa is set to bring her much-anticipated “Radical Optimism” tour to North America, following its kickoff in Singapore on November 5, 2024. This concert tour is widely regarded as one of the biggest events of the year and will feature performances across major cities, including Chicago and Toronto.
Although Dua Lipa last graced Michigan’s Little Caesars Arena in 2022, there are no Michigan concerts scheduled as part of this tour. Instead, the North American leg will see her perform at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena on September 1 and 2, 2025, followed by two nights at the United Center in Chicago on September 5 and 6, 2025. Tickets for these concerts are available for purchase online and are expected to be in high demand.
Adding excitement to the tour, a pop-up store will be open in Chicago for two days, September 6 and 7, 2025, at the Anthony Gallery located at 1360 W. Lake St. This pop-up store will operate from 11 AM to 6 PM local time. In addition to Chicago, similar pop-up stores will be set up in cities such as Atlanta, New York City, Dallas, Los Angeles, and Seattle, offering fans exclusive merchandise and experiences.
Dua Lipa’s recent album, “Radical Optimism,” released in 2024, showcases hits like “Houdini” and “Training Season.” During the concert, fans can expect her to perform a blend of songs from her latest release along with fan favorites from her previous albums, including “New Rules,” “One Kiss,” and “Physical.” The concerts are designed to be family-friendly and are suitable for all ages, although some material may contain brief explicit language.
The shows are anticipated to run between 90 minutes to 2 hours without an intermission, featuring a curated set list that not only includes her chart-topping tracks but also surprise covers tailored to each location. Joining Dua Lipa on tour will be special guest Cil, a rising star in the pop music scene.
Tickets for the Radical Optimism Tour are priced variably, with resale tickets often ranging between $80 to $500, depending on the demand and location of the concert. With Dua Lipa’s previous tours featuring notable openers such as Megan Thee Stallion and Tove Lo, the upcoming tour promises to deliver an electrifying experience for attendees.
