Dua Lipa Dublin concert tickets go on sale on Friday. Here’s how to get yours before they go Houdini

Grammy-winning pop sensation Dua Lipa comes to Ireland next year as part of her global Radical Optimism tour, when she will play the Aviva Stadium on June 27th.
Following a stint in Asia this winter, and shows in Australia and New Zealand, European dates of the Radical Optimism tour will kick off in May 2025. The English and Albanian star’s gig in the Aviva Stadium will mark her last stop on the European leg of the tour. Dua’s last Irish performance was in the 3Arena on her Future Nostalgia tour in 2022, with this one set to be her largest performance here yet.
With hits such as Illusion, Houdini and Training Season, her latest album, Radical Optimism, hit number one upon release in 11 countries, including the UK, where it became the biggest album debut from a UK female artist in 2024. But is this popularity warranted? The critics seem to agree.
The Irish Times called Radical Optimism “the pop album we’ve been waiting for” and The New York Times declared it “an album of nonstop ear candy”, while Vogue also sang the album’s praises hailing the collection “a summary, self-assured slice of pop brilliance …[and] catchy as hell.”
If you were hoping to snap up a highly-coveted presale ticket before the surge of Dua devotees swarm Ticketmaster on Friday morning, we’re afraid that ship has already sailed. Almost.
The window to register your interest for presale tickets by signing up to the singer’s personal mailing list closed on Tuesday evening. Similarly, if you registered for MCD’s presale you should have been emailed access details on Tuesday. For those of you who are lucky enough to have received a code, the presale ends at 9am tomorrow. So don’t waste any time! Get yours now before they go Houdini.
Have your devices charged and Ticketmaster login at the ready because tickets are due to go on general sale at 10am this Friday, September 20th.
It’s unclear at the moment exactly how ticket sales are going to operate, we are waiting on the promoter to get back to us with more details on this. Dynamic ticket pricing has caused quite a stir recently, putting fans at risk of being caught unawares as ticket prices soar based on real-time demand.
If the mania surrounding sales for recent gigs like Oasis, Taylor Swift and Coldplay is anything to go by, don’t be too surprised if you end up 60,000th in the queue when the claxon goes off at 10am. We suggest joining the queue a bit early to give yourself the best chance of success.
Tickets start at the cool price of €49.90, with the most you can expect to pay at face value being €141.25. Of course, these prices are subject to Ticketmaster’s meddling 12.5 per cent service charge. At most, this will attach an additional €10.50 to your total at the checkout tomorrow morning.
Yes, you can buy a maximum of six tickets.
