Dua Lipa
After joining DNCE and 5 Seconds of Summer in last year’s “In the Mix” music festival, Dua Lipa, one of today’s rising pop stars, is set to return to Manila later this year—this time, for a solo concert.
The British singer-songwriter will bring her “The Self-Titled Tour” to SM Mall of Asia Arena on Sept. 14, according to promoter MMI Live. Tickets go on sale starting June 18; call 470-2222.
The 22-year-old star, who bagged the breakthrough act and female solo artist of the year trophies at last year’s Brit Awards, is currently promoting her self-titled debut album, which spawned the hits, “New Rules,” “IDGAF” and “Blow Your Mind (Mwah).”
In an intimate promotional musical showcase for the press last year, Dua said she “couldn’t thank enough” her Filipino fans “for listening to my music. I’m so lucky to experience a place like Manila and meet all of you,” she said then. —ALLAN POLICARPIO
