London's rising starlet Dua Lipa has announced her first ever Australian tour dates, where she'll play intimate shows in both Sydney and Melbourne. Her success has come from her newest single, Be The One, as it scores radioplay and over 28 million views on YouTube.

Dua Lipa comments on her inspirations, "I’d be listening to Destiny’s Child, loads of hip-hop, Tupac and Biggie, while my dad would be nurturing me with Dylan and Bowie. It was such a mix up of genres, and I never knew exactly what type of music I liked, but I learned to be open to anything, as long as it was good."

The twenty-year-old will head to Sydney's Newtown Social on 13 July and Melbourne's Northcote Social on 14 July, after playing Glastonbury, Wireless Festival and more in the UK.
