Dua Lipa

[CaledonianGonzo]

She's only playing gigs this year as the tour's been delayed for two years. She'll want to consolidate and if Glastonbury offer there's no chance she'll turn it down.

[Quark]

Managed to get hold of a couple of standing tix for the O2 gig, now just need to hope my seated ones will sell!

[DareToDibble]

This thread has definitely made me want to check out her tour. Unfortunately I haven't given myself much time as she's playing Cardiff tomorrow. There is 1 standing ticket on twickets right now but I would definitely need to take the wife so will hope a pair come up in the next 24 hours.

Saw her in Newcastle Saturday and was brilliant

Depends whether album 3 is ready to go this time next year. She might want to coincide the two...

Maybe. But maybe not. She's on the list of people who would do the G as a one off special show, not necessarily as part of a bigger initiative.

Perhaps, she’s unquestionably in the frame. My money is on next album, whenever that may be.

It’s not turning it down but if it doesn’t fit with her touring schedule then it won’t be for 2023. She won’t do a glasto one off.

this also presumes she’s been asked for 2023 specifically, think it’s more likely she will have been asked to do it when it works best for her. If they want her to headline they want her to headline.

She’s doing a few biggo festivals in Europe and the states.

My 2 cents.... She should be headlining over Billie Eilish no question. 

BE needs to get cameos on to stop everyone getting depressed and sitting down to chill out in my opinion. Dua Lipa has some bangers... lots of songs actually. I like BE but she's not a headline act for me.

I think I agree with this actually. I’m pretty confident Dua Lipa would get a bigger crowd.

Absolutely agree with this. It feels like BE lost a lot of steam with a second album which didnt quite continue breaking ground like the first did... DL on the other hand went from strength to strength

[Quark]

O2 tonight. Yep, that was bloody fantastic. I think she probably could do it now, but a decent third album and assuming the fest wants to go with a pop headliner and she should be nailed on for a future year.

[PGTIps]

Also went O2 last night. What a performance, really taken her live show to that next level. One of the best Pop performances I've seen in a long time. Got to be a future headliner without a doubt, would also agree with Dua over Billie if not just for the fact I don't know if there's much difference between Billie's other stage set and what her headline set will offer.

Dua Lipa has denied reports she will perform at the Fifa World Cup opening ceremony in Qatar.

Quote

The singer said she will "look forward to visiting Qatar when it has fulfilled all the human rights pledges it made" when it became host.

but

Other acts including Robbie Williams and BTS's Jung Kook are set to perform.

and

Sir Rod Stewart recently revealed he turned down the opportunity.

Quote

"I was actually offered a lot of money, over $1m, to play there 15 months ago. I turned it down. It's not right to go," he told the Sunday Times.

Where is the love?

Quote

US pop group Black Eyed Peas and Colombian singer J Balvin, however, are set to perform at events in Qatar during the tournament.

Wow what is wrong with these people?

Arcadia must be getting millions for this, maybe this answers my question. Would love Glastonbury to refuse Arcadia, it wouldn't be too difficult or any more expensive to fill that area with another soundsystem.

One day ticket for arcadia shows are $104

Everything in Qatar is ridiculously expensive - pint of beer costs like 30$

It would be more expensive as they would have to pay the initial setup fees like building the stage etc. Arcadia also has good connections to djs, not many people can convince calvin harris to take the glastonbury fee - the festival clearly couldn't or he'd have played 10 years ago. And thats before considering the risk of getting a new operator in for arcadia field, the festival isn't looking to take huge risks right now really

Dua is in Los angeles to peform at Elton Johns final north american performance this coming weekend. She chose to be with a person thats trying to make a difference with human rights.  And hey, I get to see her do it and paid less than 100 quid for 2 tickets!

The numbers are letters in the alphabet. 4-21-1 is DUA.

So the top line says DHIINOU. Probably an abbrevation of album name or song name?
