Dua Lipa kicked off the Australian leg of her highly anticipated Radical Optimism tour with five sold-out shows at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena which wrapped up on Sunday, March 23. The Grammy Award winner is now heading to Sydney for three nights of electrifying performances at Qudos Bank Arena before heading to New Zealand. Lipa’s Melbourne setlist featured hits from three albums — her 2017 debut Dua Lipa, 2020’s Future Nostalgia, and last year’s Radical Optimism — along with collaborations with Calvin Harris and Silk City. Here’s a look at the songs you can expect to hear in Sydney and more information about the concerts.
