Development
[edit]Dua Lipa unveiled her third studio album titled Radical Optimism (2024), throughout social media on 13 March 2024.[1] The project is inspired by Lipa's hometown, London, for its "confidence and freedom of 90s Britpop".[2] The concept was introduced by a close friend, with Lipa capturing "essence of youth and freedom" so she can incorporate in her recording sessions.[3] Afterwards, the singer announced her third concert tour in support of the album on 18 March.[4]
Lipa uploaded a promotional poster on Instagram where she would perform a one-off show located at the Royal Albert Hall in her hometown.[5] Fans who pre-ordered the album were granted pre-sale access on 10 April, followed by the general ticket sale two days later, via Ticketmaster. Tickets were limited to two per booking with prices varying from £55–£86.[6] A month later, the neo-psychedelia record was released on 3 May 2024, spawning favourable reviews from music critics.[7]
The concert took place on 17 October 2024, and Lipa was accompanied on stage with the Heritage Orchestra conducted by British composer Ben Foster, her seven-piece band, and fourteen choristers.[8] Media outlets reported the show was filmed and set to be released the same year.[9] Television networks CBS and ITV confirmed in a press release on 23 October that the artist would star in a television special titled An Evening with Dua Lipa.[10][11]
