Dua Lipa‘s upcoming Radical Optimism world tour begins in November in Asia and will run through 2025. But unlike a lot of pop shows, which strictly adhere to the same script every night, she says she plans to change things up.
Speaking to PAPER magazine, Dua says, “I’m really excited. It’s gonna keep evolving and changing, and the show is longer than anything else I’ve done, so I want to make it exciting for everyone coming to see the shows, and everyone on tour as well.”
“It’s not the same thing night after night, and we want to just keep it really flowing and have fun with it,” she adds. Ironically, for someone who was once roasted for not being a good onstage dancer, Dua says she’s looking forward to the choreography of the show the most.
“I love the building of the show and how it evolves and the kind of story that we want to tell,” she notes. “For me, it’s just how much fun can we have in two hours, you know? How many things can we fill it up with that just keeps you dancing all the way through? I’m a big high energy person, and that’s how I want everyone to experience the show. I’m ready to go nuts, basically.”
And to Dua, “going nuts” means sweating.
“It’s such a back and forth of energy. What we give, we also get back, and then that hypes us up even more and amps us to high levels of energy,” she says of her and her team. “By the end of it, we all look like drowned rats. That’s when you know you’ve had a really good show, when you’re just completely drenched.”
