3x GRAMMY and 7x BRIT Award-winning global pop powerhouse Dua Lipa has announced Dua Lipa Live From The Royal Albert Hall. The new live album features a reimagined version of Radical Optimism performed in its entirety front-to-back, along with several of her previous hit songs, all accompanied by the 53-piece Heritage Orchestra conducted by Ben Foster, a 14-strong choir and her 7-piece band. The album will be released on December 6th ahead of her primetime concert special “An Evening With Dua Lipa,” to be broadcast Sunday, December 15th on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.

“Getting to perform at The Royal Albert Hall was unlike anything I’ve ever done,” Dua shares. “For the longest time, I’ve had this idea to reimagine my music with an orchestra, and when I was making Radical Optimism, I was constantly thinking about the live element and how these songs would transform on stage, so when The Royal Albert Hall show came up, it presented itself as the perfect opportunity to not only reconstruct these songs, but also celebrate them in such a beautiful and intimate way. The experience was entirely thrilling and equally rewarding. It was a dream come true, and something I’ll always take with me.”
In addition to Dua’s one-night-only concert recorded at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall on October 17th, the album’s accompanying primetime special will be interspersed with intimate interviews, in which Dua reflects on the pivotal moments that have shaped her life and illustrious career. As she revisits personal moments, from the New York City trip that changed the course of her career, to her favorite holiday memories in London, Dua shares her thoughts and emotions in real time, giving audiences a glimpse into the woman behind the superstar.
The dazzling London show was critically acclaimed with rave reviews across Billboard, Variety, The Times, Daily Telegraph, London Standard and more, crowning Dua as “Britain’s reigning pop star” who gave a performance packed with “pure pop perfection,” in an “impressive one-off show,” which “displayed her talents in a new light.” The album features a surprise duet of “Cold Heart” with musical icon Elton John, as well as the debut live performances of “Dance The Night” from the Barbie soundtrack, “Maria,” “Anything For Love,” “End Of An Era” and many more from Dua’s latest chart-topping album Radical Optimism.
Following her electric set headlining Glastonbury’s 2024 Pyramid Stage and her triumphant Royal Albert Hall show, Dua has now embarked on her Radical Optimism World Tour, which will continue into 2025 and includes two shows at Wembley Stadium that sold out immediately.
