The Grammy Award-winning artist shared photographs of her cultural exploration through Singapore’s historic Katong district, including a visit to the Sri Senpaga Vinayagar Temple and a stop at the renowned 328 Katong Laksa.

The Singapore concerts, scheduled for November 5 and 6, mark the beginning of Dua Lipa’s ambitious Radical Optimism Tour. The additional date was added following overwhelming demand from fans in the region. This stadium tour, her first of such scale, will traverse Asia before concluding in the United States in October 2025.
This visit marks the artist’s return to Singapore after a six-year hiatus, following her 2018 performances at The Star Theatre and the Singapore Grand Prix, where she appeared alongside DJ Martin Garrix.
The tour supports her latest album, also titled “Radical Optimism,” and represents a significant milestone as her first stadium-level international tour, showcasing her evolution from pop starlet to global superstar.
