DUA LIPA ANNOUNCES NY AND LA SHOWS

DUA LIPA ANNOUNCES NY AND LA SHOWS ADDS LOLLAPALOOZA TO HER SUMMER FESTIVAL PERFORMANCES

Following her much lauded U.S. debut performances at SXSW, Dua Lipa has announced a set of special shows in New York and Los Angeles. Dua will kick off the four-show bi-coastal tour dates on May 4th with a performance at New York's Neon Gold Popshop at Baby's All Right. After playing the McKittrick Hotel on May 5th, she will head to Los Angeles, where she has recorded much of her debut album that is due out in September on Warner Bros. Records. She will perform at School Night at Bardot on May 9th and a secret show on May 10th with details to be announced on day of show. Later this summer, following stops on the U.K. festival circuit, including Glastonbury and Wireless Festival, Dua will return to the U.S. with a performance at Lollapalooza on July 30th (see below for full list of U.S. dates). Prior to heading out to SXSW last month, Dua was featured as an "artist to watch at SXSW" by Complex, and her electrifying live performances in Austin proved thatSPIN was right when they observed, "Every year in Austin, there's at least a handful of relatively as-yet unknown artists who make their mark on the crowds and go on to bigger things." They went on to predict, "This year's most likely candidate for the slot is Britain's own Dua Lipa, a 20-year-old pop star with a huge, huge voice." WhileNPR proclaimed "Dua Lipa hypnotized at her Hype Hotel show," and Idolator raved that Dua "owned her set in a cool fashion that only the British can pull off!"  Dua has received a surge of media attention ever since releasing her debut single, "New Love." TIME has dubbed Dua an "elegant pop superstar-in-waiting," while Ellehas declared "Dua Lipa's unconventional beats are about to take over the dance floor." Her hit "Be The One" was named one of the "10 Songs You Need in Your Life This Week" by FADER, and her latest single "Last Dance" has been featured as one of Vulture's "Best New Songs of the Week." Marie Claire announced that she "is about to become the music industry's newest obsession," and with her upcoming live performances and new music on the way, it is clear that 2016 will be an incredible year for Dua Lipa.
