Dua Lipa 'Radical Optimism' Australian Tour Setlist Revealed

Dua Lipa kicked off her first of eight dates on her Radical Optimism Australian tour in Melbourne last night (17 March).

On her first of five sold-out dates at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena, ahead of three sold-out nights at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena, the New Rules singer brought a 22-song set of bangers to her devoted fans.

With a setlist representing Lipa’s three albums – her 2017 self-titled debut album, 2020’s Future Nostalgia, and last year’s Radical Optimism – as well as collaborations with Calvin Harris and Silk City, Lipa also premiered Radical Optimism cuts Maria and Falling Forever, plus a surprise cover of AC/DC’s Highway To Hell—a rad move to add an AC/DC classic for a ravenous Australian audience.

Check out the setlist and her cover of Highway To Hell below.

For Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism tour, Australian singer-songwriter Kita Alexander is the special guest on all dates.

Last year, Lipa explained the inspiration behind Radical Optimism, adding that a friend introduced her to the term, and the concept resonated with her.

She said, “I became more curious as I started to play with it and weave it into my life. It struck me — the idea of going through chaos gracefully and feeling like you can weather any storm.”
