“Getting to perform at the Royal Albert Hall was unlike anything I’ve ever done,” Dua Lipa said in a statement. “For the longest time, I’ve had this idea to reimagine my music with an orchestra, and when I was making Radical Optimism, I was constantly thinking about the live element and how these songs would transform on stage, so when the Royal Albert Hall show came up, it presented itself as the perfect opportunity to not only reconstruct these songs, but also celebrate them in such a beautiful and intimate way. The experience was entirely thrilling and equally rewarding. It was a dream come true, and something I’ll always take with me.”
In other Dua Lipa news, the pop singer has been named the Trevor Project’s Mental Health Champion of the Year for 2024. The organization recognized Lipa for using her platform to advocate for mental health awareness and issues affecting LGBTQ+ youth.
Lipa began her tour in support of Radical Optimism earlier this month. She doesn’t begin the North American leg of the tour until September of next year.
