Dua Lipa has announced a massive show at London’s Royal Albert Hall: here’s how to get tickets

There aren’t many – if any – musicians on the planet right now as popular as Dua Lipa. The Londoner has scored countless chart-topping singles and won plenty of awards – and now, to celebrate the release of new album Radical Optimism, she’s announced a huge homecoming show.

Dua will be playing the Royal Albert Hall, one of London’s most glamourous venues, later in the year. The show announcement follows the news that she’ll be headlining Glastonbury in June (find out more about this year’s Glasto line-up here), while Radical Optimism will be released on May 3.
