Global pop superstar Dua Lipa has announced additional dates for her 2022 Future Nostalgia Tour, including a show for UBS Arena at Belmont Park on February 21, located on the border of Queens and Nassau County. The arena tour, in support of the Grammy-winning album of the same name, now makes 30 stops across North America.
The long-awaited Future Nostalgia Tour, produced by Ceremony London, promoted by Live Nation and sponsored by Truly Hard Seltzer, will also feature support from Caroline Polachek and Lolo Zouaï, with Megan Thee Stallion joining on select dates. Full list of tour stops and lineups below.
UBS Arena at Belmont Park is New York's premier entertainment and sports venue and home of the New York Islanders developed in partnership with Oak View Group, the New York Islanders, and Jeff Wilpon. Providing a significant boost to the regional economy, especially when economic activity has been greatly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the world-class entertainment venue, with its timeless and classic design, bridges its iconic past with today's advanced technology and amenities.
The $1.1 billion multi-purpose, state of the art arena opened in November 2021 with a grand opening celebration that included the Islanders first home games in the building and a sold out Harry Styles concert. The venue will host more than 150 major events annually while delivering an unmatched live entertainment experience including clear sightlines and premier acoustics. UBS Arena is designed to accommodate 19,000 people for concerts and 17,250 for NHL games. In an effort to build a greener future, UBS Arena intends on being carbon neutral for operations before 2024, which will make it the first arena to do so on the eastern United States seaboard.
Tickets for the newly added Belmont Park show go on sale beginning Friday, January 28th at 10AM local here. Tickets for all other North America shows are on sale now here.
The tour will be the first time Dua connects her live vision for this album in-person with fans. Previously, the superstar was able to connect with fans during her record smashing live stream extravaganza Studio 2054, which had over 5 million viewers during its initial airing and featured special guests Angele, Bad Bunny, Elton John, FKA Twigs, J Balvin, Kylie Minogue, Miley Cyrus and Tainy. Dua is already slated to tour the EU in 2022, making this her first world tour run since breaking records during quarantine with her platinum-certified sophomore album Future Nostalgia.
Future Nostalgia is the longest running top 10 album by a female artist on the Billboard 200 this year and was the #1 most streamed album of 2020 on Spotify. It landed on the year-end "Best Of" lists of everyone from Rolling Stone to Billboard and Pitchfork, and spawned multiple worldwide hit singles including the #1 tracks "Break My Heart," "Levitating," which is still topping the charts and is the longest running song ever on Spotify's Today's Top Hits playlist, and US 4x platinum lead single "Don't Start Now," which broke her personal best record of weeks at #1 at US Top 40 radio and is the most streamed track on Spotify's Today's Top Hits playlist in history.
In addition to breaking radio records, Dua is also a dominant force on streaming platforms, topping Spotify's artist chart as the most streamed female artist on the platform and is currently the fourth biggest artist overall with over 69 million monthly listeners. Future Nostalgia now has over 7 billion streams across all platforms worldwide. After receiving 6 nominations at the 2021 Grammys, including Record, Song and Album of the Year.
She is now a three-time Grammy winner, having received awards for Best Pop Vocal Album this year and for Best New Artist and Best Dance Recording in 2019. Future Nostalgia was the follow up to her eponymous 2017 debut, which is certified platinum, spawned 6 platinum tracks, and made Dua the first female artist in Brit Awards history to pick up five nominations, with two wins for British Breakthrough Act and British Female Solo Artist.
