DUA LIPA: THE SUPERSTAR SET TO TAKE OVER AMSTERDAM

September 15, 2024

Dua Lipa is ready to make a grand return to the stage with her “Radical Optimism” World Tour, which includes two highly anticipated shows in Amsterdam on June 3 and June 4, 2025. Fans can expect live performances of hits like “Houdini,” “Training Season,” and “Illusion,” from her latest album, “Radical Optimism”, released in May 2024.

The British-Albanian pop icon has been in the spotlight non-stop. She collaborated with Versace on the vibrant “La Vacanza” collection and appeared in the 2024 film “Argylle” with Henry Cavill. Amidst all these ventures, she released “Radical Optimism”, showcasing her ability to balance multiple creative projects.

Much of this record was written in moments of chaos, but I found a way to stay positive and move forward, no matter what.
-Dua Lipa

A SMOOTH BUT SAFE ALBUM

While “Radical Optimism” delivers several standout tracks, such as the reflective “End of an Era,” the album as a whole plays it a bit too safe. Some of the promised indie and experimental vibes take a backseat to a more polished pop sound. Lyrically, themes of heartbreak, hedonism, and love run through the record. It’s fun and sweet, but it feels more like a fleeting summer fling than something with staying power.

DUA LIPA LIVE IN AMSTERDAM

Even if the album didn’t break as many boundaries as expected, there’s no doubt Dua Lipa’s live shows are alway’s hot electric. Known for her high-energy performances and impressive choreography, the “Radical Optimism Tour” promises to be an unforgettable experience. After kicking off in Asia, the tour will travel to Melbourne in March 2025 and conclude in Seattle by October. Amsterdam fans are in for a treat with two nights at the Ziggo Dome.
