Pop superstar Dua Lipa is returning to London this week for two massive shows at Wembley Stadium. The British-Albanian singer is finally bringing the Radical Optimism tour to her home turf after taking it all around the world during the past year, including a triumphant Glastonbury headline set.
Before Dua completes her London victory lap, she is doing something a little extra for the fans in the capital. The ‘Houdini’ singer has announced she is opening a pop-up shop in the Big Smoke in the lead up to the concerts.
The Radical Optimism Pop-Up Shop will open in the city for four days this week, taking place in the run up to and during the Radical Optimism World Tour. The shop will be open from June 19 until June 22, open daily from 11am to 6pm. It will be located at Protein Studios in Shoreditch.
The pop-up will be flogging Dua merch, while there will also be photo opportunities and a bar serving ‘Dua’s favourite drink’ (although the drink hasn’t been confirmed yet, our guess is on a dirty martini). There will also be an immersive experience taking fans ‘inside the music of Radical Optimism’. That’s presented in L-ISA Immersive Sound, the ultra-high resolution spatial audio technology from L-Acoustics.
There will also be special perks for American Express card holders. See more about that here.
Radical Optimism Pop-Up Shop, Protein Studios, 31 New Inn Yard, London, EC2A 3EY. Jun 19-22. Free.
