SHE’S already treated fans to a bumper year with her third album Radical Optimism and an epic headline set at Glastonbury.
But Dua Lipa isn’t quite done with 2024 just yet.
I can reveal the New Rules singer will release her first ever live album as she looks ahead to her debut stadium tour in the coming days.
The record will be released in just a few weeks and was recorded at her one-off Royal Albert Hall gig in London last month.
The special show saw Dua belt out her biggest hits, flanked by the 53-piece Heritage Orchestra, a 14-strong choir and her own seven-piece band.
During the gig she was joined by music legend Elton John for a performance of their 2021 hit single Cold Heart.
The concert will air later this year as an ITV special called An Evening With Dua Lipa.
However, unlike the channel’s other An Audience With shows, such as Adele and Kylie’s, Dua is not expected to take questions from the crowd.
Instead the programme will follow a concert film format.
A source said: “Dua wanted to give something back to her fans after an amazing year.
“She’s dabbled with live releases before, such as with her Brit Awards performance but this is the first time she will release a full live album.
“It’s expected to be announced in the coming weeks.”
Next week Dua will kick off her Radical Optimism tour, with two nights at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
The mammoth run reaches the UK next summer when Dua will play two sold-out shows at Wembley Arena as well as a couple of dates at Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium.
Bring it on.
